Scribefire updated
I generally use either Windows Live Writer or the blog editor right inside of Flock, but sometimes I’m away from my laptop, and all I have is portable Firefox on my USB drive to work with. Scribefire is a blog editor that exists as an extension within Firefox. In the past, that’s been a “just good enough” scenario, one that’s just slightly above the native editor inside of WordPress itself. That’s not saying much. However, the latest release is a considerable improvement on the old one, and there are several features to it that just might become a consideration for your full-time blogging use. Just a few of the updates:
- Tabbed editing, so you can keep multiple posts out at the same time. Just in case you’re a blogging junkie and can’t get enough of them at once.
- Quickblogging feature to quickly edit posts that are already up.
- Adjust timestamp.
- New Share/Promote tab that lets you quickly submit your posts to social bookmarking sites. However, I see a few buttons from sites I don’t recognize, and there are a few that are missing…namely del.icio.us.
- Quick YouTube and Flickr integration
I might also add that the layout is considerably cleaner and user-friendly than in the past. Adding images and other media is a snap now. If you want a blog editor available right inside your Firefox browser, then you need to check this out. I’d been getting used to the Flock editor, but I think I’ll be using this one any time Live Writer isn’t available to me.
