Offline Blogging Software
June 19, 2008 – 09:44I don’t like using the web editor built into Wordpress. It works well, but it’s still a web app. I don’t like the look and feel, I want something more along the lines of a word processor. Besides, how many times have you hit publish and watched your post disappear?
I also tend to write in bursts, so to speak. I’ll compile a list of topics that I want to write about, and sit on them for a few days. Then in a spate of mental illness symptoms, I’ll throw four or five together. But since I don’t want to just flood my blog, I like to keep them “local” and only upload an article once a day. This ain’t twittr, you know. 
I also like to review my articles several times before I post.
In the next series of posts, I am going to try out various blog software simply by attempting to use it. I am only looking at inexpensive or free products at this time, and I haven’t got my Mac setup, so this will all be done on Vista Ultimate. Let’s face it, unless you are “high endy” you ARE NOT making any money with your blog.
Check out this other article I found here about various blog tools.

Ecto, by somebody that needs a better webhoster. As of 09:31 CDT on 19 June, Ecto’s main site is down.
Flock. It’s riding the line between online and offline as it’s a browser based on Mozilla.
So I guess that’s a good start for this series.
