Desktop editor for blogging – w.bloggar

If you blog once in a while, interface provided by blogging tools such as WordPress or Movable Type is ok. But if you are a regular blogger, this becomes tedious and slow. Saving the post obviously takes couple of seconds and soon gets irritating.

So recently I started blogging using w. bloggar which is a desktop based application for blogging. This tool allows you to directly post to your blog from desktop. You can also review your previous blog posts, edit or delete them. It is also possible to upload files or images to your site and then directly link to your post. All this is possible without leaving w.bloggar.

You can start using w.bloggar in 4 simple steps.

1. Download and install w.bloggar
2. Setup your account – Here you need specify your blog address, user id and password.
2. Setup upload properties (Under blog properties menu) – Provide ftp settings for your web site. Provide URL to Link if you put your images/files in a sub directory.
3. Setup preview properties – Specify you site CSS and other properties here. This will make the preview same as the actual blog output.
