It would seem easier to write your blog post or discussion question in a program like Word, so that you can edit your piece there and transfer your finished product to businessrelationships.com, right? 

WRONG!

Microsoft Word has its own formatting built into the software.  If you take a previously written piece in Word to copy and paste it into businessrelationships.com, the formatting will be wild and new characters might be added. 

You might spend more time fixing the formatting errors than you would have if you'd re-typed the entire document.

So, what can you do to transfer a previously written piece? 

1. Retype the entire thing; OR,
2. Copy your piece from Word to Notepad or Text Edit.  Then transfer it from Notepad or Text Edit to businessrelationships.com. 
3. Don't forget to hit the "Add Blog Post" or "Add Comment" button.
4. Voila!  New post for all to see.

Text Edit & Notepad are called simple text editors.  They are like Microsoft Word but without the bells and whistles.  If you have a word processing program (like Microsoft Word) then you probably have a simple text editor on your computer.  A search should easily locate the program.  

If you have a Mac, you will probably have Text Edit on your computer.  If you have a PC, you will probably have Notepad on your computer. 

All you have to do is locate the simple text editor (Notepad or Text Edit) and type what you want to say into it like you would in Microsoft Word or any other word processor.  When you are ready to post it to businessrelationships.com, you'll have to write as you normally would in the simple word processor.  Then you would copy or cut the piece and paste it into businessrelationships.com.  It's that easy!

If you have a different way to add without retyping, we'd love to hear it.  Please leave a comment below!
