I know i aint a big fan of online wordprocessors , But i went and tried zoho writer after Aner told me to start spell checking my posts and i went and done it just to get a feel of web 2.0 life , I opened an account and started writing , Its a nice service i gatto give you that but the thing i most expected ‘Post to blog’ simply failed and made me close that tab .
I clicked the Post to blog feature and configured my blog . First of all i didnt receive ANY confimation that it actuly saved it exept seeing it in a dropdown selection box . When i tried editing it to change the API they informed me that a blog under that name is already present . When i tried deleting it they said its already present … well Dhuu!@! How did you manage to figure that out (???).
To make long story short i managed to configure it but i never found the “Save” or “Apply” button , Or the Post to blog feature after only 10 minutes that i actuly understood after you set it your good to go. Finnaly i managed to save my blog info and got an error it doesnt support it . Thanks alot zoho for making me spend 10 minutes figuring out your writer . Secondly if they did manage to fix all of those i’d love to have a feature like an online bucket of my documents and presentations for future use and proof writing my posts on my blog for example… But hey you take what ya get .

Thanks for trying out Zoho Writer & posting your thoughts about it here.
Sorry that you had a bad user experience with Zoho Writer & couldn’t get the ‘Post to blog’ feature to work. Yes, a lot of tweaking needs to be done to make it easier for the user & I assure you that we have been striving hard in setting right such things.
Coming to the issue at hand, believe your blog platform is WordPress or is one that supports metaWeblog API. That being the case, you can follow the procedure given in our forums as below:

Do get back to us at feedback(at)zohowriter(dot)com if the above doesn’t work & if you have further queries.
Regarding your other queries, Zoho Writer has a spell checker which you can use. And we have just released Zoho Show, a tool for creating presentations online.
Regards,
Arvind
Aloni added these pithy words on Jun 27 06 at 12:17 pmSorry for being harsh on the writer but one of the biggest features i think it has by posting to blog didnt work for me even with the metaapi , I develop with wordpress ALOT and i personaly didnt manage to configure it with the Confirmation issues and the errors.
