I think Alice said that

This is a bit of an experiment that may not work. As I often have to share documents, attaching the Word documents to e-mails is pretty tiresome and I know how much of a drag it is having to save all the attachments locally so why should I inflict that on others? I'd like to publish them on the web and could try slapping them into Dreamweaver but it never quite works the way you might expect. Then I noticed the new toolbar that I have in Word: Publish to Blog. So here I am. Five minutes after pressing the button, I have a new blog and you guys may be able to see my stuff from a very simple and network-friendly e-mail + link.

I like the idea of sharing inforation and ideas in a blog but I also have some reservations. Whilst I check my e mail on a regular basis I may forget to check a blog. As a blogger myself I have been subject to less that helpful comments, comes with the media I suppose, and dating agencies!

Quite right, Shelagh, e-mail does tend to sort of hit you every morning and blogs are more suitable for casual "Oh I think I'll see how that's getting on" sort of work. I just find managing all the attachments a pain and often forget to save them somewhere sensible so they get left with the mail and my mail account explodes after a while. Still, with the Google Sidebar, finding things in e-mail is a lot easier now, at least!
