Configuring Word to Post to Blog

Microsoft Word will allow you to place a blog post to Word Press is the blog server is configured to receive the blog post and if you have a valid username and password in order to make those posts.

On our Web server, the technology department has established this on three blog servers.

We will be in touch with each person to provide you with your appropriate username/password and blog location.

In order to make this connection happen, you will need the following:

  1. Username:
  2. Password:
  3. URL to blog site:

Once you have these items, perform the following to establish your blog posting account.

Note: You will only have to establish your account the first time you make a connection. From that point on, Word will store your username and password for you; however, it is a good idea to keep this information someplace in case your computer has to be reloaded.

  1. Open Word and select File/New
  2. Select New Blog Post
  3. Click on Mange Accounts
  4. Click on New
  5. Select Word Press as your provider

  7. Enter the URL to the blog site (provided by the technology department)
  8. Enter your username
  9. Enter your password
  10. Check Remember Password
  11. Click OK
  12. You should get a message that your account has been established.
