Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Encrypt Text lets you quickly create Blowfish-encrypted rich texts
Encrypt Text is a service by Encrypt Easy that lets you quickly and easily encrypt and decrypt Blowfish texts. The page features a rich text editor (NiceEdit, I rummaged around the sources a bit), and you can easily write whatever you want, set a password, and click Encrypt.
You can then send the encrypted message over IM, email, or painstakingly handwritten snail mail. The recipient can decrypt it with any Blowfish-enabled software (I think most Linux users probably have something like that built into the system, right?).
Of course, if the recipient does not have their own Blowfish decryption software, they can just go to Encrypt Easy and decrypt the message right there. The rich formatting (fonts, links, bold text) is preserved once you decrypt the message.
In case you're curious, bored, or just feel like giving this tool a spin, I've written a secret message that you can find after the fold. To decrypt it, use the password DownloadSquad (original, I know! My Windows login password is Erez123, too).
Here's what the output looks like:

Congrats, you've killed the site with traffic just by blogging about it :P

Awesome! Works really well.
Nice post.

So I enter my super secret text into a website in clear text over a non-secure connection so I can convert it to encrypted text? Yeah, that's useful.

@Peter: Agreed. Offloading encryption to a webservice is unbelievably insecure. I really think you should make a note about the potential danger in the article, Erez.

The blog software formating is getting carried over into their rich text editor.
I did the copy paste into note pad and then into their little box and it tells me password error.

Hi there, DownloadSquad reader!
If you can read this, then you are one of the few people who actually took the time and copied my text, went over to Encrypt Easy and tried to read it. I'm not sure that's a good thing, but at any rate, congratulations! It worked!

There is a nice open source google chrome extension that will encrypt and decrypt inside the browser without transmitting the key. It will decrypt on the fly on selected websites, so its quite comfortable. It's called "Encrypt the Cloud".
