I've registered myself with Zoho, and am writing the blogpost in Zoho, just to see if I can post it easily. I spent the weekend with my brother, struggling to use Google Docs to help him edit a paper he was doing for a class. I didn't have too many problems with Google Docs, but he got very frustrated. This application seems to have more choices, and most especially, a way to document changes while leaving the original there to compare, which we couldn't figure out how to do in Google Docs. I'm very motivated to use a Web-based program so we can work on it in real time, instead of me doing the edits and waiting for him to get back to me, and then he just takes what I sent and sends it in before I can check to make sure it's what his professor wants. (What can I say, he's impatient!) This will be particularily important when he has to do citations, since in my scholarly days I managed to avoid APA, but him - not so much.
Background color is a nice feature, and superscript and subscript are easy to use, font color is nice
but I plan to avoid the nasty emoticons, since I've never like them, and although getting back to where I was isn't quite as intuitive, I guess I can catch on. Inserting html is a recipe for disaster if you don't know what you're doing, and I don't, but popping in an image is easy as long as you aren't startled by the
just popping onto the page. DigiSign gives me hope of one day submitting my timesheet in a paperless fashion, and you know, I think I like Zoho pretty well now!
