I've been on a warpath for about a year now, looking for leaner and meaner blogging tools. I have been particularly obsessed with the possibility of using one interface in order to post on several blogs, if not at once then at least as tightly in tandem as possible.

Ecto seemed to the that tool but it is not optimized for Drupal users. Meaning, I can post to a Drupal site but I would have to edit the post from within the site in order to add categories --and that's part of the reason why I have been looking for a remote or semi-remote solution.

For quick posting, I really don't want to log into several blogs at the same time. I want to be able to use one interface with one login system in order to post easily to a multiplicity of site.

Hence the ScribFire extension for Firefox.

It's an almost perfect solution. I can't unfortunately add categoies "on-the-fly" with ScribeFire/ Editing of a previously published piece is tricky for similar reasons ... the categories. You have to re-click on all the categories with every re-edit.

Then there's the reality of Firefox crashing on me a lot these days. Thank goodness for the "Save all tabs" add-on to Firefox. If' been in deed doo-doo if I didn't given how unstable it has been behaving lately.

Still, the product is free, just like Firefox. And it really makes blogging on easier.

I will continue writing more on the subject as I test more and more this extension.

For now, rock on. We have a winner.
