Like Microsoft Word and OneDrive? Your blogging platform is here:

Edit your blog posts in Word. Store them in OneDrive. We’ll publish them automatically as your very own blog.

Aside from the utility, I love editing systems like this because they embody transformation and projection – we turn raw and sometimes proprietary editorial content into new, universally-consumable presentation artifacts. I tweeted a bit about this in the last couple weeks.

I also wrote a long, vaguely ridiculous blog post last year about the source/rendering/artifact relationship:

Breaking the Fourth Wall of Content.

(Fair warning: there’s some Plato in there.)
