This is just a quick test post being generated from Microsoft Word and pushed for publishing to a WordPress.com hosted blog.

This paragraph would be bolded.

This paragraph is italics

This paragraph is blockquoted

This is a bulleted list:

• item 1
• item 2

UPDATE:
Here’s an interesting note. The code that was generated by this post didn’t contain any of the normal Word formatting crap you usually see when you write a post in Word and then paste into your blog editor. One specific drawback that I immediately see is the inability to optimize the image file name, alt text, etc.
