Ramesh: We’ve worked out a lot of crashes and the app will be much more stable by the time 1.2 is officially launched.

I liked the look of Blogo. It has got neat clean look to it. But it crashes heavily.

Thanks for the thorough review, Greg. We’re glad to see you liked the app.

Foodfreak/Patrick: As Greg mentioned, we are working on saving offline drafts and are migrating Blogo to CoreData for this and other enhancements.

Allen: sorry to hear that you didn’t find Blogo met your needs. You might want to try out the new version, which has more formatting options than Blogo 1.0.

@Foodfreak:

blogging editors also manage entries on the webserver, allow offline creation *and* edits. You own Scrivener: why? Why not use TextEdit? In your own answers you’ll discover why a blogging client is important and useful.

keep in mind that ecto does a lot more than just edit (in fact, you can specify an external text editor, so you might be able to still use Scrivener for the editing part). There’s a facility to do amazon searches and get back links (text, image or both) for books or DVDs or whatever for inclusion in your text. Same for flickr. it’s also extensible.

Give it a shot before you shoot it down.

MarsEdit is also a wonderful and wonderfully simple application for writing blog posts.

I tried blogo a few months back and I really didn’t like it at all. I felt like I couldn’t do everything with blogo that I could do blogging through my browser. Anyway, I recently, I switched blogging platforms to tumblr and now I really love using Tumbleweed, an adobe air desktop application. It’s free too. I don’t think blogo works for tumblr users.

That’s the most stupid desktop blogging client I heard of.

Why use a desktop client when you cant save draft locally or even use it offline?

Now where’s the sense in desktop blogging if you can’t do it offline? You can have that with scribefire for firefox for free, btw.

I tried MacJournal (which I found clumsy) and Ecto and I like Ecto a lot, actually, but I still can’t see the overall benefit of an offline blogging client so far. I write all my psots in an editor or Scrivener anyway before I post them, I code HTML by hand in an editor, why bother with such an app? Keep it simple.

I might consider Ecto for travel blogging, not being able to be online here and there, but then I still keep my photos at an image hosting site (sparing me the traffic) and I’d need to upload these and embed them in an outgoing post anyway… which is why I could till typ ein Scrivener or Smultron and upload later.
