This is the second article in the series Online Blogging Platforms series.
I’m not a Microsoft fan whatsoever, but when I opened this series up to user entries, one of our readers mentioned he did his writing in OneDrive. Since I couldn’t say no, I made a Microsoft account and jumped headfirst into OneDrive. I’ll say this: it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

I have found every contributor for my own blog on Google+, it houses a nearly 3,000 person and daily active Church Tech community, and has brought about nearly 90% of my consulting online. Yeah, “dead.”
