Desktop Blogging Tools

For those of you who don’t want to deal with doing your blog entries via the web interface, a plethora of desktop blogging tools are available.
I’m currently trying out Windows Live Writer (pictured above). It’s pretty easy to setup. It’s not without its bugs, though–Publishing doesn’t seem to work all the time. I’ve gotten around this by publishing stuff “as a Draft” and then going into the blog to do the actual posting. Sometimes the post date gets set to December 31, 1969 @ 7:00pm. Yeah, still buggy.
There are apparently a bunch of tools like this around. Let us know if you’ve tried any of these.

A Unique Way to Have Fun with Photos
Being a photo enthusiast and an aspiring photographer, I am constantly finding myself wandering through various photographs on the wildly popular photo sharing Web site Flickr. The reason is simple; try and learn from others about how to take good, serious, and artful photographs. Well, one day, that went out the window when I stumbled across this Flickr group, Photoshop Tennis. No serious photographers here, just a new, good, fun, and very unique way to enjoy photos!
