Don Xml's Grok This

	OneNote For Blogging I’m sure others have thought of this, but OneNote would be an excellent tool for a blogging editor, except for the fact that the API isn’t public.  I use OneNote all the time to jot done my blog entries, and then copy and paste them into the my site.  I’d like to create a plugin for OneNote to post to my blog via the SOAP APIs, but since the OneNote APIs are private that can not be done.  Yes I know that I could save it to a mht file, and write a script to parse it and post it to my site, but that’s a kludge.  It would be so much better to do it right from OneNote.  I see that Don Box is creating an XSLT to convert WordML to XHTML, which is another possibility, if I wrap that in a Word Macro that can post to my site.  Maybe that is something that I should tackle this week.

We can only hope for this functionality in the next VSTO. I can envision a TON of uses for OneNote if we had the ability to write add-ins etc, blogging not the least of them.

I use OneNote for just about all my ideas / writing now.

About donxml

I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
