I’m in the market for a desktop blogging tool. For a year now, I have been using Scribefire, a Firefox plug-in to post to my blog from any where on the web. I like the fact that the icon was always there in the bottom of the browser. I could start a post, finish it at my leisure and it used the built in spell check of firefox. But, alas, I have an unsolvable problem with firefox. So I am writing this with Qumana…what do I think, well…(read the rest)

• Somehow it managed to post with the wrong timestamp. Ok, figured that out, there is a choose date feature…nice.
• I can’t figure out how to insert a blog splitter – as most of you wordpress fans know, WordPress lets you insert a <hr> tag to tell wordpress where to put the "more" button.
• It has spell check, but and suggestions, but clicking the suggestion doesn’t change the text…weird. Oh nevermind, it does…
• It has an insert ad feature, put it takes a loooong time to insert and you can not do anything while its inserting.
• Its Java based and that scares just me a little.
• I really like the droppad tool. This is a floating desktop icon that stays on top of all windows. Select text or pictures and drag them to the drop pad. You can do this over and over, then when your ready, double click it and you will see everything you have collected read for your blog entry. nice.
