OneNote and blogging

 I'm wondering what all the HTML markup like FONT and <SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">OneNote</SPAN> for bold is doing in a OneNote entry while I only use bold, italic and some simple markup. This reduces the usability of it to write entries for my web log. I wrote a big one with OneNote and used the Word stripper that removed ALL markup, and I had to do the markup by hand again. Goes faster than loosing all your text when editing entries through the web interface like I did already a few times, but still… not the way to. I tried the NewsGator .Text plug-in. Works great, but the only problem I had was that it uses a different time than the server, resulting in my post not showing up in the weblogs.asp.net main page because it was on posting already too old (time problem)! Anyone on the fastest, easiest most powerful way of blogging here, with keeping markup in your produced text?

Write your blog in a simple HTML editor. You can grab some simple HTML editor for free (just google :))

You can also use W.bloggar, which contains a simple HTML editor.

I think the point is that you liek to use OneNote for everything except the HTML formatting (or rather thet over-formatting it does)?

I have to agree - I have done some blogging directly from OneNote (http://www.greghughes.net/rant/CategoryView.aspx?category=OneNote) and I find it useful that way, but it's not quite ready for prim-time in that regard, although I am able to get it close enough for me.

My hope is that the next version (read: service pack) will improve on this area, in terms of HTML formatting, allowing the user to completely ignore absolute positioning, and providing a standards-based output (please, XML) that I can leverage for blogging tools (even enable me to plug-in a blogging too in the OneNote API). That's my wish-list. :)
