Desktop Blogging Tool In Linux

Posted by blognusantara | Thursday, January 22, 2009

So far I haven't meet good desktop blogging tool in Linux , I compare it to Windows Live Writer (WLW). There are two most recommended from what I read in my googling session and blog walking, they are BloGTK and Drivel. But that's not good enough for me, for now.
I even try to install Windows Live Writer in Linux via Wine but to no avail as it need .net 2.0. There's is one method to install it with winetricks though, that I haven't try yet.
Then I remember once I tried one Firefox addon : Scribefire, back in Windows XP, it is a good blogging tool but I didn't use it often as WLW was  around. And now WLW is no more, Scribefire is the next best thing, and its recent version is getting better over time. I write the last three posts with it.
If you're looking for good desktop blogging tool in Linux then Scribefire + Firefox is your dynamic duo, IMHO.

Happy Blogging!


ps:
  • Why did't I use online posting tool?
    I hate long login process and all those clicks just to write a post, so long my idea was long vaporized.
  • it's kind of ironic isn't it, the best desktop blogging tool in Linux (IMHO) doesn't run on one, it runs on the multi platform Firefox.
  • to all code-masters out there : please, please, make WLW-killer in Linux.
  • if you know good desktop blogging in Linux (that I miss) please let me know.
