Orange County Web Design – Using Blogger as an HTML Editor for Activerain and other Platforms

Using an Outside Editor (Blogger Platform) for ActiveRain Posts






If you feel that your blogging (like ActiveRain’s) editor and interface is lacking, you may not be alone. Many people use external tools to format their blogs- everthing from hand-coding the HTML side of the AR editor to using the editing tool of their choice.

Step 2. Start a new blog.
Step 3. Hide your blog from indexing and searching.
Step 4. Create a post
