Blogging from the Flock browser

Is blogging from within a browser any easier than just navigating to your preferred blogging service, logging in and then writing a new post in their dashboard/interface?

Well, Flock (downloadable here) makes it a little easier. With a click of an icon, you can be writing a blog post and with another, it's uploaded to your blog.

Which is how I wrote and uploaded this one.

If you want to save it as a draft and work on it later, you can. It lacks some of the functionality of Scribefire, the blogging plug-in for Firefox, but it's simplicity is a big plus.

And of course, it's another feature to win over new users, especially those who are either into or being drawn into the what 'Web 2.0' has to offer.

Blogged with the Flock Browser

First post

Using ScribeFire now - add-on for Firefox, which means I can post from inside the browser without having to go to my blog site, login, etc.

And, more importantly, keep any page I am blogging about open in the browser window, as it brings up an interface below in a split-screen mode.

I can even preview the post from within the browser on another tab.

Going to see how this might speed things up and make blogging easier. :)

First complaint: I can't easily format paragraphs, without editing the source.

EDIT: And the preview panel sucks big-time: unless you have it maximised it runs all the text together. Fail.
