Writing directly on the WordPress interface can be very time consuming. I realized how much time I wasted in the process of formatting and publishing a blog entry.
The solution, it seems to me, is to write blog locally and publish it with a click of a button. I asked this question on WordPress forum and got a pointer to a few programs:
- Scribefire (my final choice!)
- Gumana (both Mac & Windows)
- BlogJet (not on my wish list because it is non-free)
- Windows Live Writer (someone said “works like a charm”)
- Zoundry Raven (very similar to Windows Live Writer in its functionality)
