Hi John,

Do you intend to make a blog post out of this, or should I do so?

Hi John,

Hi
Is there an Extension or something that allows people to edit the blog directly
in Writer? or are people writing it & then using copy&paste into the blog?

There is a Sun Weblog Publisher extension, but it is not on the LibO
extensions list.
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/swp

I have never tried it. Someone said they'd never been able to get it to
work with a Wordpress blog, although it worked with Blogger and maybe
others.

I personally prefer to write in a text editor (not in LibO Writer) and
paste the result into the Wordpress blog. I don't know what other people
do.

Hi
Thanks Jean I was trying to get to an answer for a question asked in the
users list again. I guess you saw the question too.
Thanks and regards from
Tom

I have unsubscribed from all the LibO lists except this one for a few
weeks, as I am leaving in around 48 hours for a trip into the outback of
South Australia, mostly without internet access.
