FF addon: ScribeFire (Updated)
My good friend Sean CISSP, who I met on the train from Mumbai to Panaji, send me the following comment:
I use Scribefire, a FF add-on – a bit flakey at times but does ok usually. supports tags, including Technorati ones (but I can’t get that to work reliably) and whatnot.1
So I’m using ScribeFire to write this blog, immediately it looks like it has it’s spell checker linked to FireFox. Sadly <CTRL>-<SHIFT>-arrow doesn’t seem to work in the edit field although it does in the HTML edit and preview screen. It has categories and seems to have tags. It contains shortcuts to insert images from Flickr and YouTube.
It’s not possible to schedule it for a later date. It should also add the Technorati tags automatically, I’m not sure it will work. Pushing publish now.
Update:
It doesn’t seem like it added the tags, although I selected Draft it published it directly to my blog. It also used <br/> rather than <p/> or <p></p>.
technorati tags: firefox, scribefox, blogging, tagging
I did it was flakey – and what’s with the technorati link, can’t you spell anymore?
So what do you suggest? I quite like ScribeFire but I haven’t really checked out the competition neither…

Yeah, I know. I can’t type straight.

Also I just discovered that it does allow later publication; it pushes it to your block and it goes into a “Pending” category on WordPress. Kinda cool.
