Writely Test
My spelling is terrible! I read a lot of my blog posts, and it is pretty embarrassing. Sometimes I have noticed that I get a lot of traffic from people who don't know how to spell. Part of the problem is that I am lazy. The other part of the problem is that my blogging software is relatively bare bones, and doesn't have a spellchecker or fancy formatting options.
When I want to be tidy, I often type my entries out, copy and paste them into my word processor or email client, spell check them, then copy and paste them back. This is not a great solution, but it works when I do it.
The point of this post is to test out Writely, a free online word processor. It has a spellchecker installed, and will publish directly to any blog that accepts Blogger, metaWeblog or MovableType APIs.
We will see how it works. I am not too impressed with the spellchecker yet. It doesn't have good enough suggestions for poor spellers like myself! It also doesn't spank me for capitalizing words improperly like Word does. Hopefully it will get better with time.
