Until recently I was completely unaware of the range of desktop blogging applications. These allow you to post your blog through an application instead of the web interface.
In my case, I’m a fan of WordPress.com, but the posting interface is a pain in the ass, especially when dealing with images. Add to that the fact that the rich text editor does not support my browser of choice – Opera – and it all starts to become a little messy.
Stumbled across a site which mentioned BlogJet so I thought I’d try it out. Wow – seriously great software. Fast setup, simple-to-use UI, and integrated with loads of blog sites. It simplifies the whole process making it faster and generally more approachable.
I’m sure that if everyone knew about this alternative then pretty much the only people who’d continue using the web interface would be Mac users. And given that the only thing they’d blog about is how good Macs are (snore), it’s no great loss.
