Blogging with ScribeFire

It seems to be a never-ending quest to find a blog editor. As good as the editor in WordPress is, I just don’t like dedicating a browser window to it and it feels too much like typing in a web form and not an editor. (Picky, picky…) I wrote earlier about blogging from Word 2007, but the limitation of only being able to select one category, and the time it takes to get Word up and running has kept me from going back.

Now I think I’ve found just the thing. ScribeFire is a Firefox plugin that lets you easily post to your blog. By default it runs in split-screen mode, but you can also have it launch as a new tab or in its own window. It has some nifty features that make it very easy to include a link to the page your looking at or to drag and drop formatted text. Best of all, it’s always there in the browser so I don’t have launch another app or open a new tab and go to my blog to add a new post.

This is the second post using ScribeFire and so far no deal-breaker irritations. I’ll keep you posted.

    I tried ScribeFire last year and wasn’t impressed.
    After reading this quick review and that you found the application worthwhile… I took another look.

    Plus, if it’s saves even a few minutes of time each time I post to a blog.. I’m in.

    I have 20 blogs and posting can become a chore… especially when I’m trying to get in some great new Public Domain content. Sometimes that WP editor doesn’t just love my copy/paste.

    Thanks for sharing your review.
