Using this w.bloggar we could write our post offline and publish it next time we go online. I found about this w.bloggar from wordpress site and there are many more about blog client you could find in there.

It's all thanks to the simple guide from blog-well.com :D

Scribefire

The first one I tried was Scribefire. This is a Firefox plugin so it's easy to add posts to your blog while surfing the web. Just select some text on the page you want to blog about, then click the icon that is added to the Firefox status bar or right click and choose 'Blog this Page' from the context menu.. When invoked, Scribefire splits the page you're on so you can refer to the original page while you blog away.

Scribefire supports all the major blogging platforms, such as WordPress (both WordPress.com and self hosted blogs), Moveable Type, Blogger etc., so no matter where you choose to blog you should be able to use it. It has a nice clean layout and it's simple to add your blogging accounts. I did a couple of test posts and it worked beautifully.

It has all the formatting tools you would expect and allows you to edit previous posts as well as add new ones. You can also edit pages, but I couldn't find a way to add new ones. Scribefire has a few other nifty features such as adding Technorati tags, a note taking facility and Del.icio.us integration.

Unfortunately Scribefire seems to lack one feature that I use: tags. It does have a tab in the editor labeled 'Tags', but these are what WordPress used to call tags, i.e. categories. To be fair, however, tags are a pretty new feature to WordPress so perhaps they'll be added to a later version of Scribefire. Surprisingly it doesn't have a couple of what I would consider basic features like 'More' text and the ability to edit a post's timestamp.

So, I paid Google a quick visit and came up with...

w.bloggar

w.bloggar is an offline tool so you don't need to be connected to the Internet to use it (except when you publish a post of course). Like Scribefire, w.bloggar is compatible with a long list of blogging platforms and makes it easy to add your accounts. It has a full complement of formatting tools and can edit previous posts (but not pages).

Being a full-blown program rather than a browser plugin, w.bloggar has useful features that Scribefire lacks: Search and Replace, importing text files, and publishing the same post to multiple blogs are the ones I've found in the short time I've been trying it out. It also lets you add 'More' text, edit the timestamp and it supports tags.

For the time being then, w.bloggar will be my blogging tool of choice. I know there are other blogging tools out there that I haven't tried (yet). If you use one of them, or indeed Scribefire or w.bloggar, let me know your opinions in the comments.

E o bacana é que evita o entulhamento de HTML ruim, como andava acontecendo por aqui.

O Windows Live Writer faz a mesma coisa, e também me parece bastante bom. Tem a diferença - se para melhor ou para pior depende, já vi pessoas que gostam e outras que detestam - de ser WYSIWYG, ou What You See Is What You Get. Isso quer dizer que você consegue ver o post do jeito que ele vai ser publicado no blogue, com a fonte certa, formatação correta e coisa e tal. Os detratores dizem que isso acaba poluindo o código, mas eu fiz uns testes aqui e ficou tudo oquei.

Você pega o w.bloggar aqui. É de graça, e não paga nada.

O Live Writer está aqui. Igualmente sem custos.

Divirtam-se.

Atualizado:

Ah, uma coisa. Se alguém decidir usar o w.bloggar com o Wordpress, preste atenção na hora de configurar a conta. Eu fiquei bastante tempo quebrando a cabeça com isso. O que eu aprendi foi:

1. preencha o campo "endereço" sem o "www", ao contrário do que indica o exemplo do programa (o deste blogue é "ckoshikumo.wordpress.com");

2. no campo seguinte, "página", escreva APENAS "/xmlrpc.php". Senão, dá pau.

Lembrando que isso vale para o Wordpress; não sei quanto aos outros servidores.
