Google Drive – Use Google Drive to Create Google Blogger or Blogspot Posts

bloggergoogle-drive

Is it possible to create and edit documents in Google Drive and then publish them to my Blogger account as posts? This is because the editor of Google Drive is far better for me.

Best Answer

I have found the solution myself. Google used to have a feature Publish to Blogs under Publish to the Web on Google Docs/Drive and it had the option I was looking for. But sometime back Google dropped this feature very quietly and now there is no direct way.

I know there is a web interface for this. I have a Bundle in my TextMate that can send to Blogger, although it's not working at the moment 'cause of some ruby problems.

I'll try to fish out the answer for you :)

Update

It seems that you can at least post with e-mail.
Here are the instructions for it.

Update 2

There is also the possibility of using Google's own API.

Here are the instructions on how to use the API, if you want to make a script etc for yourself :)

Adding meta tags to individual Blogger posts

Login to Blogger account.
Navigate to Design > Edit HTML
Click on Download Full Template for your security purpose.
Check the Expand Widget Templates box then..

Add the following in the <head> section of your Blogger template. Enter this code below the Home Page code above you have just entered:

 <b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://url of your post"'>
  <meta content='keywords pertaining to your post' name='keywords'/>
  <meta content='crafted description of your post' name='description'/>
 </b:if>

Here is an example of optimized meta tags for this post:

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://www.blogger-tricks.com/2011/11/how-to-add-meta-tags-in-every-blogger.html"'>
<meta content='meta tags,optimize blogger,blogger SEO,search engine optimization, blogspot,blogger,blogspot.com,blogger.com,blogging,blog' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='Improve SEO by adding meta tags to your Blogger Blogspot blog. Step by step tutorial shows you how to add meta tags to the home page and a single post' name='description'/>
</b:if>

Add your post URL, keywords and description. To find the URL of your post navigate to the post's page and copy the link showing in the address bar of your browser including the http:// prefix
Click on the Save Template button.
To check your description you can use the view source in your browser once you have navigated to the post page or a meta tag analyzer

_{Note: This method is suitable if you have a few key posts that you want to ensure you get maximum traffic on. If you have a lot of posts this manual method would be very tedious.}
