Back Again. Offline blogging

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Too pretentious? Not at all. Today i´ve begun to use an offline bloggin tool. It allows me to write posts in my computer without using blogger  or other webblog interface, so I feel more confident and I hope the results will be better.


For the moment i´m using Qumana. It´s the first tool that I try, so there may be better options out on the internet, but this is quite simple to use, and my requirements are not too much complicated.


As a litte review, the first thing I´ve found is a very simple interface in which every button makes what is seems to be intended for. So you can edit the font´s type, alignment, color and so on, you can include images, links, and all the stuff required to write a decent post.


You can save a post and continue writting it later. Also you can manage your blog. I´m using Blogger, and the software works without any problem with it.


Of course the most important button "Publish Post" makes what you are thinking. :)


Try it. the little effort is worth it.


Update: I´ve found a very big problem with this tool. You can not upload images from your computer to your blog directly. The only way to use images in a post is to first upload them to flickr or something similar, and then reference the uploaded image from your post. Bad news!!!
