Quest for a proper Ubuntu Blogging client...

"How many times da I have to tell ya...the right tool for the right job!" -- Scotty from Star Trek

One of the most interesting challenges about Ubuntu is finding a proper blogging client, because it's seriously lacking. I've tried several different ones, as is evident with the previous post, but none seemed to meet my needs. This led me to google a bit on the subject which luckily led me to stumble upon FireScribe.

FireScribe for those that never heard of it, is a addon for Firefox which allows you to sync with several blogs of various types at once and even include catagories (labels on blogger). Not to mention several other useful features to it like links, fonts, pictures, youtube, links, text colours and many many more! Even better is that it runs on all platforms that support Firefox which means it works just as well on Windows as on Linux! Not bad for a 500kb Firefox addon hey? It's ironic how many Free Firefox Plugins are of higher quality than many commerical products. This just goes to show yet again that just because it's free doesn't automatically make it's crap.

This is offically my first post using it and so far I'm loving it. I will keep you all informed on my adventures and misadventures with it in future posts.
