Testing Everpress for blogging
by Phil on May 27, 2010
There are already lots of tools and workflows for writing posts: write by hand then digitise later; draft offline and then copy to the web; write direct to your blog; or email a private address. The best technique is the one you actually use.
I’m a big fan of Evernote and was using it to do some screengrabs for an upcoming post (it’s great at capturing part of a screen and inserting into the flow of words). I thought how useful it would be to automatically post from Evernote without reformatting into HTML. A quick search later and I’ve found the answer.
Everpress is a plugin for WordPress. You provide the web address of a public notebook and the plugin scours the notebook for notes to convert into posts within your blog. A workflow would look something like:
- Draft a post offline (I write on trains a lot)
- Proof to make sure it’s ready to post
- Move that note into a special public notebook reserved for blog posts
- Everpress checks once a day for new notes in the public notebook. New notes get imported to the blog and take the style you’ve so lovinglt created for your blog
I’ll be tagging all of these posts ‘everpress’ so take a look at that tag archive if you want to see how it handles different types of post.
