ZOHO Writer and Google Docs - Here I come!

Well - here I am again after a few months. I apologise for leaving you all out in the cold! Lots of things have happened since September 22nd! I had all these wonderful intentions of getting my Web 2.0 training complted by the deadline - but the deadline came and went.... :(
With some further encouragement, via the draw to get some passes to the movies if I get this finished by the end of the month, I have once again "put my hand to the plough." I do want to be in the first bunch of librarians at our branch to complete this Web 2.0 training. It has actually been an enjoyable process and I have learnt alot about the features/programmes/tools "out there" that are available on the web- which is amazing!

ZOHO Writer - I like this programme! I think that it provides a good balance of the features we all enjoy on MSWord or MSPublisher with the functionality of the internet so you can "doctor up" all those dull messages with a bit of "presonal flair!" The person(s) who put all this together was certainly "thinking ahead!" I like the fact that you can view, as well as edit your latest 25 documents offline. It can be easy to loose track of where you save your documents, if you aren't accessing your computer frequently. It would be a good programme to promote to our regular learn.net users who don't have a computer at home. Changes made during offline editing are automatically updated once you're back online is also an excellent feature.

I am looking forward to having a go at publisinh a document utilising as many of these features as possible and posting it on my blog.

Watch this space!
