Testing offline blog softwareI’ve been looking for software to allow me to post to my blog without using the (cumbersome) web admin interface. My goal, more specifically, is “free” software to accomplish this task. I’ve done a few Google searches, but it always leaves me reading reviews that are from 2007 or before. As technology advances, “that was then and this is now…” Some of the apps don’t even exist in the form that was reviewed, if at all. So I found a post from 2009… Trying Qumana. We’ll see how this test goes. If you have any suggestions, they are much appreciated. Please leave a comment… (Yes, I left the footer in place, not only to give credit, but to see what it looks like in actual use.)

No, I have not arrived. Actually a bit disappointed.
If relying on the software along, I still have to log in to the web interface to clean it up. “Tags” are included as just another line in the body of the text and *not* as real tags.
Maybe it’s my theme, but what ever, it doesn’t work in my environment.
Formatting came through as in the off-line created version. This included bold, italic, and underline. The embedded line worked fine as well. The footer gave credit where credit was due (especially considering this is free software.)
More importantly, I am concerned with the HTML errors, such as 500, and others that indicate the post was not successful. When I looked at my blog, I was surprised to see the entry. Nothing in the software said things were good.
It certainly could be the way my self-hosted blog software / server is configured. Be that as it may, there is scant help, without contacting support via their web links, to get to the bottom of this..
I guess I will follow through, but probably check out some of the demos and shareware trials.

Wow, I looked… Three of the same posts. I may say “uhhhh” in between a lot of thoughts, but I don’t stutter.
Deleted two posts that were repeats. Still need to see what is going on. I believe a lot more ‘nonsense’ will be encountered along the way.
