Labels or tags

sometimes they're called keywords; kinda like folders. (Think of your photo albums)

How to post to a blog using Google's Writely.

First, open up Writely welcome. (click this to get to Writely's home page)
Then prepare the post. For example, insert a picture (below):

Add web cams to Google Home Page

Just get the URL and paste it into the slot that shows at the title bar.










Added stuff

To insert a table, select the Insert tab, choose Table. We chose 2x2, size to content, brown border, light yellow background.
The cells in the table adjust to fit what we type in. A spelling mistake has been corrected with spell check.
Content can be formatted within a cell
The cell should stretch vertically if you enter new paragraphs.
This also is done easily.
Bulleted lists are easy to do:
  • First
  • Second
  • Third

A line was inserted below here using Insert -> Horizontal line


Special characters, using Insert-> Special Characters... § this, ± plus/minus

Finally, Blog, publish to my blog. You enter (just one time, to get started): Existing Blog Service (like Blogger, etc.); Existing Blog Settings (User Name, Password, BlogID/Title)

Post number 4 - Editgrid a web based spreadsheet editor

Another web-based software to edit spreasheets online, but this one is pretty cool and has a lot of features.

Editgrid allows you to access spreadsheets across computers, workspaces anytime from anywhere.

With editgrid you can see changes in real time when someone modifies a spreadsheet, they call it RTU (real time update). You have full keyboard navigation in the spreadsheet, 135 functions like SUM(), COUNTIF() etc.

Post number 3

Got my Google Spreadsheet beta account. Google has continued to create simple looking yet snappy applications. I'm yet to find a use for the online spreadsheet though ;).

EditGrid seems to be giving a run for Google spreadsheet's money. Edit grid has gone a step ahead to create some standard templates like todo lists, cashflow analysis etc. I think the utitlity of google spreadsheet will be greatly enhanced if it has some standard templates like these . Most of these templates seem to be prepared with US markets in mind. Both have umpteen functions(math,fin,statistical).
