Publish Post To Your Blog From Google Docs

As I said in the previously published article Bulk Upload All Types Of Files In Google Docs that Google docs has added many features, one of the great feature is that it allows you to publish posts directly from Google Docs.
Google Docs allows you to share any document with your friends. There is another option “Publish as a web page” under the “Share” option.

Why you should Chose Google Docs to publish blog post

If your blog has multiple authors who are from different geographical location in the world then Google docs comes very handy to publish your post to your blog from it. It is some time may be possible that your author works for your blog from a public computer. There may not be available some applications like Office, OCR etc. So your authors can still use Google Docs for editing their articles and publish them directly from Google Docs. This process is also helpful for your blog security.
