Thanks! Here's mine - http://hexopress.com/@joe.

Nope, I haven't started concentrating on making it all that customizable, except for a few basics. It's in the roadmap.

Wordpress also recently came up with the add-on to have your Google Docs saved up as blog posts. I see parallel here.

Interesting idea.

Yes. Comparatively speaking, there's this tiny little difference in perspective.

HexoPress offers a complete sync between a folder on your Google Drive and your blog. Wordpress doesn't. It just takes a given post from Google Docs, when you are done with it and puts it into its database. That's pretty much it.

Makes sense.

I'm not sure why I would use "your service" to do this (blog on my Google, only to have the document show up somewhere else). I see value in a service if such connector is available within Google for me to keep it within Google. Nothing wrong with your service, and it is a fantastic idea, but just saying. I think this idea is more feasible if it is available as an independent entity. I find it strange that neither Microsoft, nor Google cared to think about it, given that a word processor is a natural fit.

Good perspective. Wordpress is excellent at what it does. It makes complete sense, to go for it to do some serious blogging.

This project is for the rest of us, lazy bloggers who've gotten used to using Google Docs as a personal scratchpad and would want to blog right from there!
