As I think I’ve written about before here, I’m contstantly in search of a good Blog writing software. Today, I came across WriteToMyBlog, an online blog editor.
The concept is pretty cool. A web-based AJAXy editor that allows posting of blog entries to any, or many, of your blogs (a feature I’ve never seen before).
It’s pretty simple. Just write a post, enter the details of your blog (yeah, you got to share your account info which is a little scary) and post away.
As I’m just trying it out now for this post, I’m not up on the features yet, but according to Mashable, where I found it:
WriteToMyBlog has some major advantages over posting with your normal blog software: apart from the ability to post to multiple blogs at once, positioning images is much easier and inserting tables is a breeze.
A few issues occur to me, like categorization. I guess I’ll need to categorize this later. I also have a fundamental problem with editing large documents online as they have a way of getting lost with a quick accidental browser refresh or a hiccup on form submission. I’ll suspend those concerns for a little while. Maybe it’ll help make my entries a little more concise.
I’ll be trying it out for the next few blogs and see how it goes.
Here goes nothing. (select all…copy…hitting publish button…)
The Results…Â
I’m editing this post, again in WriteToMyBlog, just to touch a bit on what happened after the ‘publsh’ button was pressed.
It gave me a link to all of my blogs, of which I can select one or many, as well as their categories. So the categorization problem is solved. However, I couldn’t ADD categories. That’s ok.
It also lets me tag my post with technorati tags (see below). I’ve never done that before, though I’ll give it a try.
I think I may actually like this better than any of the OS X desktop blog authoring tools I’ve been trying (Mars, Ecto, MacJournal).
