How to connect Word 2013 with WordPress and Blogger – MS Word : the best blog editor.

There are many content editors for blogging on Mac platforms. But there are almost none for Windows.



I have two blogs : One for WordPress and one in Blogger.
The editors in both of them suck and I needed a very robust content editor to do all my changes and publish them in one stroke.
Well, MS Word is one of the best content editors ever created. Why not use it for blogs?
After trying very hard, I came up with the following solution:
Blogger is not supported in Word 2013 though it has provision to enable it. According to my observations, Google is implementing 2-page authentication which is failing the authentication process through MS Word.
This is according to my guess after running few trial and error methods.
Now why WordPress Authentication fails? Well, I solved it and it is really a silly workaround.
Let us have a detailed workaround:
You click Manage Accounts in MS Word and select New and select WordPress

Now If you click on next, you will get to the following window:


Please observe that there is http instead of https.
This is because WordPress started to implement the https protocol after the release of Word 2013 and this issue has not been updated.
No windows updates solved the issue.
Now just change it to https and enter your site URL.
Follow the instructions specified and then you can easily link your WordPress Account to Word.

Now to link Blogger,
There is an amazing web application called IFTTT

Just sign up for the Web Application. It is extremely useful.
Choose the recipe: If WordPress then Blogger

We are done for now. Post an article on Word and click on publish!
 and you can see it on Blogger and WordPress.
