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.
Do have feedback about the ScribeFire Desktop Blogging Tool? if so, post comments and share your experience with others.
