ScribeFire Lets You Blog Like a Mutha!

In my recent article on DashBlog (another blogging add-on for Firefox), I asked you readers out there what software you used for publishing. Faithful reader Liz responded "I use scribefire and LOVE it!!" With a response like that, I had to check the thing out! So what is ScribeFire? Here's the description, straight from the horses puhtoot:

"ScribeFire is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox Web Browser that integrates with your browser to let you easily post to your blog: you can drag and drop formatted text from pages you are browsing, take notes, and post to your blog."

The thing that really caught my attention was its support for uploading images. As I mentioned earlier, I hate hotlinking. What I would really like to see in a blogging tool is the ability to drag-and-drop and image from a page and (instead of the tool hotlinking the image) have it upload the image to your server and link to it from there. Although ScribeFire doesn't do this, it does allow you to select an image from your PC which it uploads to your server via FTP and links to the image via the HTTP URL. This in itself saves me a heckuvalotta time - and enabling this feature took me less than a minute to set up.

All in all, I'd say ScribeFire is a keeper. Coupled with FireShot (enuff w/ naming every Firefox plugin "FireSomething", already!) for the occasional screen shot, my blogging life (and life-blogging) is now much easier. Thanks Liz!
