Send your posts to WordPress as drafts

Choose a folder, and its documents arrive in WordPress as draft posts. Publishing to WordPress comes with the Zip disk edition, at £39 a year or £5 a month, and the hard disk edition, at £79 a year or £10 a month.

Folder to drafts

Zip disk and hard disk editions Download the Retroprose importer from the WordPress tab of your account page and add it to your site. In WordPress, open Tools, then Import from Retroprose, and choose Connect to Retroprose. Tick the documents you want, and each becomes a draft post under your name.

Write posts offline

Retroprose keeps drafts on your device and sends them when you are back online. British spelling is checked as you type.

Importing again

Zip disk and hard disk editions Import again and the draft is updated, not doubled. A draft you have changed in WordPress is left alone unless you tick Overwrite WordPress changes. Retroprose never publishes a post, and your blog can read only the publish folder.
