So it seems there is a new client on the block… from Microsoft. It recognizes WordPress.com just fine. When it said WYSIWYG, it weren’t kidding. It actually downloads the CSS etc for this blog, so you are using the exact same font, width of screen, the lot. Clean interface, although by doing that it looks different to other Windows XP apps. Or is this new Vista Ui thingy?

So, for in browser blogging just use Performancing for Firefox, for desktop blogging use Windows Live Writer. Easy.

(Just about to post, found that I couldn’t easily add categories on the fly. Bummer.)

Apparently you can now enable €œstealth€ mode on your posts. Good for self-censorhip!

Performancing for Firefox has been updated, this release is important because it now works way better with metaweblog API, such as .Text which is used by The Software Toolsmith.

I guess this would be one of the future paid for features in wordpress.com…

For my programmer’s blog The Software Toolsmith, the otherwise excellent Performancing extension on Firefox didn’t work well with the Metaweblog API. So while waiting for an updated version I decided to look around for another client. Blog Writer from Zoundry seems to work well. So I’ll settle on that for now.

I needed a spreadsheet that I can access from anywhere, and found Num Sum. Quite cool really. A bit slow in Firefox 1.5, but usable, and cool nonetheless.

I’m posting this from Performancing extension in Firefox… highly competitive with Flock, I must say…

Flock is a free, open source web browser. Found it by chance, while searching for a Firefox extension. Highly integrated blog and internet bookmarking… what more do you want!
