Using Evernote and BlogJet Simplify my Wordpress Blogging!

Although I have been in the technology field for ~10 years, I am rather new to blogging, and am quite frustrated with how difficult is seems to be to post an entry which has a bunch of images in it. This is especially true when you are writing up a how to with screen shots and the like. I don’t want to FTP all the images up and then hard code references to them in my blog entry. That is painful, and we’ve come to far to be doing anything manually.

So what I do is the following, and uses a combination of BlogJet and Evernote.

Both have greate features, but like anything else in this world, unless google wrote it, you need 2 tools to do the job of one….so that’s what I do. Using this method streamlines image uploads in your blog and make the task of blogging absolutly painless…

*I invite you to please comment and let myself and others know a better way or the way you do handle your blogging.

HERE GOES….

The Net-Net of what happens is this:
1) Create Note In Evernote.
2) Export to HTML
3) Select all HTML page
4) Paste into BlogJog (images and text come too)
5) Publish Blog Entry using BlogJog.
 

First you must create the Note in Evernote. One of the many, many, many beauties of Evernote, is it allows to copy images, directly from the clipboard. So that when I am writing a tutorial, I can just paste everything directly into Evernote. Once your note is created….

Here are step by step instructions.

In the Evernote menu.
Note > Export
 
 
2 ) Choose your save location
 
 
3) Browse to your Save location
 
 
4) Open the Blog entry in your favorite Browser (Firefox of course)
 
 
5) CTRL-A or Edit > Select ALL (in firefox browser window)
 
 
6) Drag and Drop in BlogJet (image below in a past post pasted to BlogJet)
 
 
7) PUBLISH IT!!!!
