Blog editors compared, voted on

Flock. Flock. Flock.

While the blog editing functionality isn't necessarily cutting edge, the fact it's integrated into a browser that has drag and drop Flickr support make this tool amazingly fluid.

i used performancing before. but, i guess i love bloglines more. :D i think the later's doing a good job, and it's user-friendly as well.

I've heard good things about ecto, but it costs money and I don't really see the need to go get something like that when I've been able to find www.qumana.com which works really well.

I hate online editing. I could say that several times.

Conversely, I really like the write now, post later aspect of standalone editors, and the ability to edit code without being constrained to a 450x250 pixel textarea box, and without wondering if something will crash and erase my post. I also like not having to write in a text processor, then cut & paste into a form.

I use w.bloggar, and like it except when it breaks, won't update, and the support forum is dead. My installation has been broken for nearly a year now, and the support forum has died, been resuscitated, and exists only in a lingering sort of non-use. My questions have gone unanswered.

I like Performancing because it mostly works. But I don't like it enough to quit using the malfunctioning w.bloggar, for the reasons noted above. Performancing is an improvement over the fixed-size webform editors, but not as fully-featured as I expect an editor to be.

I also used VisualBlogger for a while, maybe a year, and tried Planarchy. Blogjet and loads of others (Qumana, Anconia, etc) never got past the trial expiration.

What I would probably like is a standalone email editor with blog-coding functions, so that I could send fully-formed posts via email.

#4: I'm on Mac OS X, but I'm *pretty* sure with the right blogging software (I use WordPress) and a rich text email editor (Apple's Mail works fine), you can create a rich-text email, with a pic I believe, that you can simply email to your blogging system. Most blogging systems these days allow emailing posts, so you might very well be set already.

Hope this helps.

I'm biased, of course, but Qumana (who I work for) is a Windows and OSX editor that publishes to nearly all blog platforms, has an easy image uploading feature and lets you tag your posts with a click.

If you wish you can also insert keyword-based ads into your posts through our Q-Ads network

If I'm online I also like to use Flock and it's far better than Performancing which I think is horrible to use. But if I'm offline I use MarsEdit since it allows me to save drafts and post them later and it's a bit more powerful.

I have be testing Zoundry Blog Writer the past couple days.

Pretty slick. I also use BlogJet, have used it for quite some time.

Zoundry +1
