I can't stand Blogger's online editor for instance. Plus it sometimes acts up with the proxy server here at work and I lose posts. I use the editor that comes with the Flock browser. It's pretty much like ScribeFire for FFox but it pops open a completely separate window on your desktop instead of eating the bottom half of your browser. To each his own.
  • Dankoozy, on 11/13/2007, -0/+5c'mon no CLI editor? that sucks. I always come up with wonderful ideas to blog about when i'm using the command line
  • TeeDeeNL, on 11/13/2007, -1/+4Correct me if I'm wrong but afaik every blog-platform has an online editor. Why install other stuff?
  • mimps, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2Thingamablog is another good option. Works on all platforms.
  • johnnykwest, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2It appears you can blog from Vim.. dunno if that's what you're looking for exactly. (http://blog.tquadrado.com/?page_id=146)
  • schestowitz, on 11/13/2007, -1/+2A combination of KWrite/Kate with syntax highlighting works well for me, but it's not blog-oriented, for which a UI like WordPress works perfectly well.
  • anshuman, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1http://linuxtruthiness.blogspot.com . why did i miss this bus? :`( ..... humm scratch it, I totally mis-read this.
  • rohitbrai, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1But you missed out my favorite and I think one of the most fature rich... "Flock" It has many other features that make blogging a breaze, like integration with Flickr and photobucket for example and I can right click on any page in the browser and blog about it.
  • CaptainHarlock, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1The Firefox extension and Google fall under cross-platform. The article also smells of Ubuntu fanboy.
  • wenshu, on 11/14/2007, -0/+0I use GMail as my blog frontend for blogspot, It's very nice.
  • wonderpants, on 11/13/2007, -1/+1i didnt know that about google docs ( i am new feature blind) but i was looking for an offline editor for Ubuntu, thanks
  • momsshizzle, on 11/13/2007, -5/+0Hmmm, I don't see the 5 Useful Desktop Blog Editors for Windows Users article. Buried for Linsux crap.
