Trying to get a decent blog editor working in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) has been hard work. The one that looks most promising on paper is Drivel - fully featured and supporting Blogger 1, 2 and Atom. It is also available in Karmic's repositories and can be installed from the new look Ubuntu Software Centre. Wow! Let's give it a go!
It fails to connect to Blogger2/Atom and segfaults with Blogger 1. Simply does not work. Nada. Nuffink. The version of BloGTK available in the repos does not support the titling of posts using Blogger. Version 2 will, I am reliably informed. I'm also informed that it crashes a good deal.
That leaves Scribefire - a clever and easy to use plugin for Firefox that allows you to post to your blogs directly from your browser. It is very nice and to prove it - this post!
