Make your freelance work accessible on your blog. Using Google Document, you can easily provide a link to your clips that were created in print magazines.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Scanner
  • A Blog
  • Writers' clips

    Using Google Document

  1. Step 1

    Prior to working with Google Document, scan your hard copy articles and essays that you want to have accessible online. Once your work has been added to your computer, go to your search engine and type in Google Reader. You'll see the entry for Google Reader at Google.com/reader. If you have a blog, you probably already have a free account with them. If not or if you use some other site for blogging, sign in by creating an account.

  2. Step 2

    Once you have your account, you will see the several items that Google has to offer. All of these can enhance your writers blog but the document is one that will allow you to upload your work/clips.

  3. Step 3

    Click on Docs. You will see a toolbar that will allow you to upload existing documents from your computer. Click the Upload button and find the clip that you want to have included on your blog.

  4. Step 4

    Once you have uploaded the document, which can be in HTML, plaintext, Microsoft Word, Rich Text, Open Document Text or Star Office, you'll want to hit the publish button. This will allow you to share it with those who view your blog. Having done this, you will be given a URL address. Copy it so that you can paste it in at your blog under the HTML section.

Tips & Warnings
  • Google Document will let you edit your work and will also allow you to keep it from being edited by those who view your document.
  • Google Document will also let you upload those documents that are already on the web but those will already have a URL address therefore making those types of clips already easy to link to your blog.
  • This is a great place to collect all your work in one place and provide you with quick access to articles and essays you have written and be able to share them with others.
