“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?” - http://friendfeed.com/e...
I literally write them in Apple Mail, edit to add all the A HREFs and IMG SRCs and then post direct to Blogger after preview.
- Louis Gray
Yes, I always use an offline editor. LiveWriter on windows and Textmate on OS X.
- Scott Watermasysk
Surprising - everyone seems to have some client (except for Louis in this thread). I myself constantly use the backend of the blogs directly - that's why for me it is of particular importance to have a good WYSIWYG editor right within the platform of choice.

once an app withh support for custom fields appear I'll give it a try until then WP admin is the only way

I'm using ecto for longer articles and ScribeFire for short posts about stuff I found.
- Johannes Kleske
Ecto but only because Windows LiveWriter isn't available on the Mac. It's the only MSFT product that I think is close to perfection and of course, its the one thing that's not available on the mac..gngngnng..

ecto here as well. Then I tweak in WP. @Louis, your method still pains me to think about!

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).

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
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.

Twhirl, ugly as sin, doesn't have content tabs, but still the most reliable and fully featured

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

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
I using twhirl for FF it is nice but there must be implemented more features for example Rooms option I am missing this a lil bit. I've opened both FF and Twitter via Thwirl that is great, too. Hard interrupts via Twhirl. ;D

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

Daily digest emails, read once every day or two. Website to add comments.

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.
