Tools to Get Blogging Done

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 | Blogging with 1 Comment

ScribefireToday Kevin Purdy at Lifehacker wrote a really nice post with 10 tools to get blogging done. There are some really great tools in that list that I never thought of before, like the Copy Link Text Firefox extension and the AutoCopy Firefox extension for example. Small extensions that can speed up the work. Sure it is only about a few seconds but if you are doing a lot of blogging it can be really useful.

I only use two tools for my blogging and that is Scribefire for Firefox and Photobucket. Scribefire helps me blogging on several different blogs from one window. I don’t have to log in to every one of them, which I found very annoying after a while. It’s also a big plus that I can search through Flickr images in it!
I’ve been testing Windows Live Writer as well but it didn’t work as the way I wanted it to, and I had several errors with it. But Scribefire really does the job, and I’m thankful for that!

Since Photobucket added their advanced image editor to their services I have used it to cut down and edit the images to my liking. No software needed which is nice. It goes fast to get it done. It’s only when I’m going to edit an image in a more advanced way that I use Photoshop.

What tools do you use when you get your blogging done?

Better Gmail 2 Firefox extension

If you are a Lifehacker reader you probably noticed that they have released Better Gmail 2 Firefox extension version 0.3.5. However until it is fixed you have to install it in another way than just clicking on the download button.

1. Clear Firefox’s cache.
2. Right-click the download button and choose save as and save it in ie your documents.
3. When downloaded, drag the file to an open Firefox window and the installation will start, just follow the steps and you are done.

Better Gmail 2 is a must for all Firefox users ;)
