John, Consider using MS's Onenote, (or Evernote if MS software is not your thing) - they are both excellent. I would say One note is one of the best pieces of software MS have come up with for a long time. Up there with Excel for sheer usefulness. I use it everyday now.

Blogspot has a browser based editor and I use that. The edited blog is saved as a draft until I publish it. The editor sucks, but it mostly works to do what I need. I could use word or notepad I suppose to do it offline annd then just paste it in at the last moment. I use the provided editor simply because I am trying to get a standard look and feel and there is a very limited set of fonts with the provided editor. I could of course just do the formatting at the end after the paste but... so far I don't. I do edit it as a draft, save it, work on it, polish it, then publish it. I can edit it after publishing if I need to. John W.
