Google Documents has a feature for Publishing documents to blogs. Let’s take a look at it and see how good a job it does with WordPress.

3+ Steps to Setting up Your Blog Connection

1. Select setting your blog site settings link to configure Google Documents conduit (Figure 2)
   
2. Now you need to select what type of blog software you use and a user account and password to post the document to.
3. For WordPress on your own server (Figure 3)
   
1. Select My own Server
2. Set the API to MovableType API
3. Set URL http://<yoursitename>/path/to/xmlrpc.php. This is installed in the root directory where you installed WordPress.
4. User Name and Password: enter a valid user name and password for your WordPress installation.
5. Enter in the Blog ID/Title for your blog
6. Options - Include document title when posting - this doesn’t seem to work at this time.
7. Press the Test button to test accessing your WordPress installation. Once everything is working press the Ok button to save the settings. Everything is set.

1. Go back Google Docs.
2. Create a new document
3. Save the Document
4. Select the Publish option (see Figure 1)
5. Select the Post to Blog button (see Figure 4)
6. Press Ok button to post the document to your blog (see Figure 5)
   

This publishing method works but you will still need to setup the categories for the post as well as the title from within WordPress.

By the way, this document was created and posted via Google Documents as an example.

Take the time to read this great article. There is so much to learn from both of these people on generating information products, creating a new lifestyle, and freeing yourself for the 80-hour workweek.

Then go out and buy Tim Ferriss’s book The 4-Hour Workweek. It is a great book and will change your life.

We at chimp-simple use WordPress to build all of our sites and for our clients as well. It is a powerful tool that does not require a extensive computer knowledge to maintain and run. I would argue that anyone can build a WordPress site and sell products in 1 day or less.

Also, we are creating a new ebook on how to generate 4-Hour Workweek sites using WordPress, plugins, and themes. We are doing the editing now and should have it out by late September/early October. We will post more details when the Editor is finished.
