I’ve just found this cool app that allows you to post to blogs, including our own one.
http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/
go ahead and try it! I’m writing this article in it! As cool as WordPress is, it’s writing editor sucks. I don’t tend to write often, but when I start, my articles usually take more than a page and if in the process I accidentally press the shortcut for the browser go-back… I’m crying! I also wonder if you’ve ran into the 1000 miles long line bug in the WordPress editor? It seems to sometimes make all spaces in the line non breakable, there is a solution to this, which is to press enter and then go back to the line again and delete and re-insert all the spaces again… which makes me cry some more! I am also just not a big fan of Web interfaces for something so interactive as creating documents or calculations (hint, hint Google). I think Web is more suited for presentation whereas desktop is for creation.
It has a spell checker and all the cool stuff the app that I’m writing has, and it’s free. It’s in beta but seems to work pretty well so far.
As a side note… It’s written in .Net, which is soooo… expected (but nice).
ok so if you want to use it in our blog use this:
http://blogs.cognifide.com/adam/xmlrpc.php
as your blog URL, naturally, replace adam with your blog name, fill in the user name and password and enjoy!
Last final test - let’s see how does it deal with images from disk…
