Windows Live Writer is Awesome!
12/6/2006

I just recently discovered the power of client-server API's for blogging. Three of the popular standards are Metaweblog, Blogger, and MovableType.

Sweet applications like Windows Live Writer utulize these API's to interface with your blog software. It seriously makes posting blog entries easy peasy like lemon squeezy.

I can't agree with my friend DustyD more about web-based text editors like the FCKEditor and the FreeTextBox for composing blog entries:

I know I'm constantly making excuses for not posting that often,  but I think that one of the major issues was my absolute HATRED for web-based WYSIWYG editors (FTB, TinyMCE, FCKEditor, etc). They're clunky, and slow and I just generally don't like them.

Word and 'nuff said!

Bastard! Well, that would only apply if you were linking to ME. Until I get that working, feel free to make posts on other subjects.

And, while we're on the subject of people who's blogging software is lacking features, I sure do wish I could be notified when comments were added on Zinknation.net!

I'm surprised that's not a feature built into dasblog. It certainly would be handy.
I get emailed when comments are added, but, then again, I'm the admin.
