Writely?

This post was written using Writely, the online collaborative word processor that Google bought a while back and has just but into beta. I'm wondering whether it is a good platform for authoring blog posts. It has a menu command to save a document as a blog post, which seems promising. But what about the formatting?

Can it handle:

• A list
• Of bulleted
• Items?

How about a code block?

  class BoundStatement(object):
      """Represents an SQL statement that is to be executed, at
  some point in
  the future, using a specific database connection.
  """
  def __init__(self, sql, connection):
      self.sql = sql
      self.connection = connection
 

Well, that's decent, but there's no 'code' style and no ability so far as I can see to add a new style. Well, that's about it for now. Let's try posting this sucker.

Update: The code block didn't format anything like correctly, and the html generated for it is full of   entities, making it difficult to even edit by hand. Plus, 'find and replace' doesn't work in html hand edit mode! At least it lets you easily edit and repost your document, which is pretty nice.
