Thing # 13 - Online Productivity

I used Zoho Writer's template for a recipe and typed in a recipe for oatmeal cookies. I published it below. I had to edit the post a bit for it to show up well but it was quite easy to publish it to my blog. I think that having web-based applications is a great idea. Not everyone can afford Microsoft Office so it is a good alternative. I did find it harder to use than Microsoft Word though it does have all of the basic functions it does not have all of the editing capabilitites.
