Desktop Blog tool for Gnu/Linux


Here is an application which you can use in Gnu/Linux operating systems to post blogs to popular blog services like Blogspot, LiveJournal, WordPress etc:

Gnome-Blog

This could save you time logging in and traversing through lots of interfaces just for posting a small entry. On the other hand, if you want to post an elaborate message with images etc, i recommed the web interfaces over this.

There are others too: BlogGTK, but i like Gnome-Blog better. Debian users can install it using 'apt-get install gnome-blog' and start blogging by running 'gnome-blog-poster'.

(this post is from Gnome-Blog; above picture was added manually from the web interface; images can be dragged and dropped in Gnome-Blog.)

if you like, you can add it to your panel and keep jotting down text until you are finally ready to post it. Right-click on the gnome panel, select "Blog Entry Poster" and click OK. Enter the information requested and you are ready to post. I could not find a way in which multiple accounts can be used with this application.
