Killer Blogging App: w.bloggar January 5, 2007
Posted by Andrew Wee in : blogging , trackbackI saw this blogging application mentioned by bigbyte over at the Wicked Fire forum (Easy Blog Updates).
w.bloggar is a desktop-based blog editor which supports an impressive list of blogging platforms including the following:
Blog Services
- Blogger
- MSN Spaces
- TypePad
- BigBlogTool
- Blogalia
- TheBlog
- Blog-City
- EraBlog.NET
- Upsaid
- UBlog
- SquareSpace
- BlogWare
- DearDiary.Net
Blog Tools
- MovableType
- Nucleus
- b2
- WordPress
- b2 evolution
- Blog:CMS
- .Text
- BlogWorks XML
- Drupal
- LiveJournal
- pMachine
- Xoops
- E-Xoops
- PostNuke
- blojsom
- Roller Weblogger
- Domino
- YACS
- Xaraya
There’s a definite attraction to having a desktop-based blog editor (especially in the light of the Taiwan earthquake).
Even if you will eventually need to paste the post content into your blog’s administration panel because of other plugins you need to activate, w.bloggar gives you the flexibility to pre-write blog posts and paste them.
Understandably, you could write the raw HTML in a text file. Although I feel this detracts from the blogging process.
I think my buddy Ryan, who’s fooling around with the performancing plugin and experimenting over at “This Is A Test” will find this useful.

Not exactly killer…
Anyone tried ‘Ecto’?
Hi Brennan,
It’s a killer app in that affiliate marketers have tested it and are using it as a tool in their income generation efforts. (which is my metric for usefulness, rather than sophistication of technology).
Ecto (http://ecto.kung-foo.tv/) might have a higher whiz bang factor, though over at ProBlogger (http://www.problogger.net/archives/2005/06/21/making-the-most-of-ecto) there’s a mention that the Mac version supercedes the Windows version.
w.bloggar used to be good, but has not been updated since March last year.
The Windows Live Writer is pretty useful too, and does support Wordpress blogs as well.
‘used to be good’?
As long as it serves it’s purpose, it’s good enough isn’t it?
Likely if you’re one to use flashy graphics/video or other forms or content, you might need something which is being constantly updated.
If you’re posting mostly keyword-rich content, the basics will suffice.
My buddy, Rachit, mentioned Windows Live Writer over at: http://www.rachit.org/are-you-efficient-in-your-blogging/trackback/
hey andrew,
yep w.blogger is a great tool..use it before..altho not to its full potential.
i dun think you need to cut and paste with it…it can be configure to direct link to ur blog without even login into ur blog online.
u can even save your post for a latter time and post it directly to ur blog. just write them using w.blogger and press the post button it will instantly post on the real blog online. I believe you just need to fill in ur admin login details for that.
this sure is a useful tool to have especially with all this 404 page showing and where bandwith matters..lol
i can say “w.bloggar” rules in windows platform where “ecto” (darren rowse use this if not mistaken) rules in mac
hapi new yr mate…
Hey Kevin,
happy new year to you too!
Saw your reply after I filed the earlier responses, ah well.
I guess anyone keen on doing offline post creation will likely download 2-3 desktop blogging clients and select their favourite.
andrew : ahah…ah well, i thought my reply have lost in space..the lagging is really killing me…agree with u on that~!!!
Think you made a mistake in the hyperlink. The correct URL should be http://wbloggar.com/ …… although http://www.secretblogweapon.com/ would be a more suitable URL for this wonderful tool.
Cheers.
DK,
the link to wbloggar is located at the end of the post.
The other links are triggered by contextual keywords.

WBloggar currently appears to have a major flaw.
When you post on a blog that uses the new blogger, it will not take the contents of the title field and put them into the tiltle of the post.
Has anyone found a way to fix this in the custom setup?
