Using Blogger's spellcheck

A good blog, like any good publication, is well-edited. I have been seeing some otherwise great blogs that have spelling errors. When that happens, I will ask you to correct the errors before I grade the work. So you will save us both time if you edit your work before you post it.

Blogger's spellcheck is easy to use. When you are ready to publish your blog entry, simply click the spellcheck button. Here's a screenshot.

Tech note:  Certain browsers do not support Blogger's spellcheck:

Spell check does not work in Safari. We recommend using Mozilla Firefox for Mac users.

In the Camino browser, text cannot be entered into the posting field. We will be making some changes to handle this browser better.

In recent versions of Mozilla browsers, the image upload and spell-check windows may be blocked as popups. You can fix this by changing your preferences to allow popups from blogger.com and www.blogger.com.

How to spellcheck your comments
Here's some helpful advice posted on Stuck in the Middle with Blue:

"I know you can use the spell check function whenever creating a post on blogger, but the same option isn't available when posting a comment. . . [I] did an online search for spell checkers and came up with Spellcheck.net. No registration, no downloads, just cut and paste. It identifies misspelled words and gives you a drop down box to correct them, up to 5000 words."
