QUESTION: do you use a blog editor like LiveWriter, ecto, Mars Editor, Scribefire? Or do you just enter your posts into the backend of your blog directly?

Ecto... have done for years... truly love it.
- Andrew Garrett
from Alert Thingy
I enter my posts right into Wordpress.
- Kevin Bondelli
I've always entered posts through the backend. Just downloaded ScribeFire. Very cool!
- Jennifer James
Directly into Wordpress. Planning to try an editor soon.
- Dee
I enter my posts into Wordpress or use EditPlus (text editor) with spell check plugin.
- Erica Douglass
Blogger or WordPress dashboard directly. I've tried editors in the past and always been frustrated that they never seem to support all the features of the dashboard.
- Voyagerfan5761
MarsEdit. Daniel does a fantastic job with it!
- Matt Harwood
I tried Live Writer, but I'm going back to the dashboard so that I can use Zemanta.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Live Writer to post to Community Server
- Kathleen Anderson
Live Writer. Its so good that I actually boot Windows on my Mac just to run it. VMWare Fusion, of course. Ecto just isn't as slick.
- David Risley
Live Writer. Love those plugins, too!
- Sarah Perez
I've always just written through WP - what's the advantage of using some other type of blog editor?
- Trisha
@Trisha, you can blog and surf the web at the same time! Ha! :) Actually, I think it's helpful when your blog requires lots of resources and research. I have Scribefire downloaded, but I find that I prefer my blog editor though. I think it's a comfort zone thing. What do you use, Darren?
- Sarah Parker
I started using Live Writer because it made it easy to include pix. I do find that it's quite rigid with it's text formatting. Would like to switch to something else. Any recommendations?
- Loraleigh Vance
Actually, a mixture of MS Word, Notepad and WP's editor.
- Alex Cristache
Tried them all, helped make one ... using Live Writer with a little help from Flock's web clipboard
- Tris Hussey
BlogDesk... Have truly tried them all and always come back to this baby. Just works.
- Robert Sanzalone
I was using Ecto a lot, but now I've gone back to the Wordpress backend... too many little things like changing the post slug etc. that I often tweak on posts that most blog editors don't handle.
- Martin Jamieson
@Robert: BlogDesk looks like a good program, but unfortunately it does not support Blogger. Back to the drawing board for me.
- Voyagerfan5761
livewriter is good for me. I don't need many powerful functions and don't need login into the backend each time.
- terababy
Windows Live Writer for me. Believe me, it's the best WYSIWYG blog client out there for Windows.
- Shankar Ganesh
MarsEdit for me though I used to use ecto. Sometimes I just go into the backend itself to post something quickly.
- Isaak Kwok
MarsEdit for me as well. I rather hate all of the blog backend editors. The only one I kind of like is LiveJournal, and it's buggy.
- Arachne Jericho
@Trisha: One big advantage of using a Desktop client is that you can write your blog post offline on your laptop, on a plane or on a train etc. I use BlogDesk offline and Scribefire online
- Stephen B
from Alert Thingy
I used use the web Wordpress editor. But those clients are very busy bloggers who have to write multiple articles per day.
- Michael
I sometimes use a plain text editor for composition, but do all the formatting in the WordPress dashboard itself for http://distributedresearch.net/blog...
- Andy Roberts
the backend editor.
- Grant Griffiths
from twhirl
I use MarsEdit. Almost never to to the backend editor.

You know, this inspired me to see if there was a plugin for the Vim text editor that would post to blogs (I mean, seeing as there's plugins for WebDav and FTP support for the thing). It exists. http://code.google.com/p... Something similar probably exists for emacs. Uh, if one wants to go the completely, totally tech geek route. (Vim: not for the gentle-hearted.)
- Arachne Jericho
I type in Pages, save regularly and then cut/paste to the blog backend.
- Sally Church
Better vim blogging plugin is VimPress: http://phorolinux.com/vimpres... Okay now I'll shut up about vim :)
- Arachne Jericho
Right into the backend. It's an ExpressionEngine site, so it's not as WYSIWYG great as some, but it does the trick. I also tend to do a lot of emdashes, extra HTML tidbits and whatnot, and I used to be a full-time codemonkey, so editing directly in the backend feels pretty comfy.
- John Frenette
write on the web
- Palin Ningthoujam
Tend to write in DarkRoom and then just paste into WP backend and format/add imagery. Find DarkRoom just invaluable for removing all distractions to writing.
- Robin Cannon
Both. Since switching from Joomla to WordPress, I've started composing a fair amount of stuff in the WYSIWYG editor. It's handy for quick things and articles I work on bit by bit during the day. But I still use Journler for the more complicated stuff, exporting plain text and formatting within WordPress.
- Chris Baskind
I use Live Writer since it holds formatting and can offline. Always open for suggestions.
- Dannie
For plain entries (just text), I'll usually use the WP editor. Just started using MarsEdit recently for more advanced entries that either include Flickr photos or other formatting.
- Damon Cortesi
I use LiveWriter mostly, sometimes Scribefire.
- Ellen Moore
I use Blogger. I see that not many people do, though, and I wonder if there's a reason.
- Joseph Z.
so are people using Twhirl or some other app to use FF or are they using ff.com?
SteJules and Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah liked this
I'm using the FF webiste... I do have it running in Twhirl, but I find it really hard to scan stuff - I wish there was a way to collapse/expand all entries (make it more like an RSS client or something)... would prefer to use a desktop client, but they need to improve.
- Martin Jamieson
Twhirl works pretty well, I also like AlertThingy and the FF Web site
- Brett Kelly
I use ff.com. It's fast and simple... No need to launch another app, since my browser is always open anyway.
- Daniel Zilber
I only use Twhirl for FF when I want to post an image with a link. Though I might start using the bookmarklet for that too.
- Andrew Dobrow
yeah - tried twhirl but i might be friends with too many people to use it well - so on the ff.com site to this point - but even that's hard to keep up with.
- Darren Rowse
I use the site. Sure I have twhirl running too, but it's not as usable to me, and results in another permanent taskbar button (which I don't have room for).
- Voyagerfan5761
Web all the way
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Web only
- Robert Seidman
I'm experimenting with web, twhirl and alert thingy; I don't like Twhirls two windows for Twitter and FF as it adds extra clutter.
- Sally Church
I usually use Prism for FriendFeed, but I'm still on the fence as to what's "best" (Twhirl, AlertThingy, or FFox with Greasemonkey Scripts)
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
On another note, has anyone found a good sidebar plugin? I found http://mysocial247.com. Can anyone vouch for it?
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
mysocial247 is decent. Personally I still like using the FF website (by far the easiest to interact with and best looking)
- Deepak Singh
Rahsheen, here's a comment thread on mysocial247: http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Robert Seidman
FF.com and RSS Feeds to my Outlook 07'
- David Cook
I use twhril for both twitter and friendfeed
- Grant Griffiths
from twhirl
i like the website experience. I'm on a mac and gave it it's own standalone browser using Fluid.
- Jason Toney
Thanks Robert, You Rock.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I mainly use twitter.com on the web and friendfeed.com on the web. Occasionally ill post from twhirl.
- Mike Fruchter
I'm using the FF website in its own Mozilla Prism instance. In addition, I use my own client FFeedVim to post sometimes.
- Morton Fox
Twhirl, ugly as sin, doesn't have content tabs, but still the most reliable and fully featured
- Duncan Riley
from twhirl
I use ff.com because I have yet to find an app which is truly a better way of interacting on FF.
- Scott Jarkoff
I'm using the website, but I'm trying out feedalizr to see how I like it. One thing I dislike about using applications is that they leave their footprint, i.e. "via Alert Thing / Twhirl / feedalizr".
- Timothy Neilen
just starting out, use twhirl for twitter so am using twhirl for FF. i actually like a seperate app as i have way too many browser windows open as it is
- James Koopmann
from twhirl
The FriendFeed site is much better than Twitter's because it refreshes every few minutes if you leave your browser open, so I just use that. AFAIK Twitter doesn't do that...
- Glen Stansberry
just the FF website
- Eric
I mostly use friendfeed.com. I like Twhirl a lot for Twitter but not so much for FriendFeed.
- Michael Hocter
Iuse AlertThingy most of the time, though I have been trying out feedalizr, preffering AT for now
- Stephen B
from Alert Thingy
Daily digest emails, read once every day or two. Website to add comments.
- Richard Soderberg
Am using Twhirl. But I prefer to come into ff.com once in a while as it's easier to look at everything at a glance.
