» Desktop Blogging Software Review: ScribeFire

Earlier in the Spring I posted a review of BlogJet, I can’t believe it’s taken me 5 months to finally get around to writing my review of ScribeFire.

When I decided to start writing my desktop blogging software review series, ScribeFire was the second desktop tool I tried. And I have to admit, in the beginning I was very skeptical. I used it a couple of times and it just didn’t feel comfortable. But that’s all changed now. I recently gave ScribeFire another look and have been using it more regularly and I’m really growing to like it.

Features Which Set It Apart

• Split screen view. It splits the browser in half so I have a web page in the top half of the browser window and the ScribeFire Editor on the lower half.
• ScribeFire is Add-on Extension to FireFox.
• Add categories to the blog from the editor… can’t do this with BlogDesk.
• Choose to publish as a Post, Page or Draft.
• Toggle between Visual and Code editors without going to the main menu.. it’s on the WYSIWYG interface.
• A current archive of Posts and Pages which you can edit without having to go into the WordPress Interface.
• Work on multiple posts at a time with the use of tabs for each individual post.

All-in-all I really like using ScribeFire… it’s easy to use, it’s feature rich and it’s free. For the last 5 months I’ve actually been using BlogDesk as my primary desktop blogging tool but over the last 3 weeks I’ve been using ScribeFire more and enjoying it.
