Blog Offline

Blog platforms usually require you to go online, log on and write your post online. This is fine - until your broadband connection decides to let you down. On a number of occasions, I’ve written a long post online only to find that when I hit “save”, the connection cuts out or some other horror occurs - resulting in all my lovely prose vanishing into the ether. Aaargh!

To my joy, I discovered a free offline blogging tool called W.Bloggar that allows you to blog offline on your PC or laptop. Then, when you are ready to post it on your blog, all you have to do is click “Post” and it automatically connects to your blog online and shoots the post through the ether, magically posting it right into your blog.

The great thing is that you can also set your Categories offline and add image links just as you would normally do online - as well as setting the time and date of the post (eg if you only want it to be visible on the site at a future date)

To download the software, go to www.wbloggar.com and click through to the downloads page.

UPDATE: I’ve just come across a post from The Wrong Advices which lists a number of offline blogging tools in addition to Bloggar called, unsurprisingly, Offline Blog Editing Tools
