It’s amazing: Linux, with all its millions of tiny freebie programs, FOSS applications, and even SourceForge and all its glory doesn’t have a single decent WYSIWYG blogging client. Not one!?\n<\/p>\n
That’s what Google says anyway. There’s “xfy Blog Editor<\/a>” for Mac OS X and Linux – except it’s a 32MB download of a trial version for a paid program that’s bloated, slow, and unintuitive. There’s Bleezer<\/a>, a free Java-based blogging client (so it’s supposed<\/em> to work everywhere), but it’s even worse. It’s ugly, refuses to connect to WordPress, out of date, and very buggy. Plus, it’s Java. And of course, everyone’s favorite: ScribeFire<\/a> (aka Performancing). Except we’re talking Linux, not JavaScript; and we’re looking for more than a pretty face and a couple of options.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why is there no decent blogging utility for Linux? Just because people choose to use Linux and don’t mind a bit of CLI and some kernel hacking doesn’t mean they’re willing to write a couple-thousand word article in Emacs.. It’s not a website, it’s just an article for God’s sake! So all this begs the question: when’s someone (or some company, organization, group, whatever) going to make a down-to-earth (free) WYSIWYG blogging utility for Linux users?\n<\/p>\n Are you a Linux-loving blogger? What do you use when it comes to making your blog post of the day\/week\/month? Are you forced to use limited online publishing interfaces or do you just go with the flow and churn out that HTML? And most importantly, what would you like to see in your ideal Linux blogging utility? <\/strong>Because, you never know, we might just find some way to help! It’s amazing: Linux, with all its millions of tiny freebie programs, FOSS applications, and even SourceForge and all its glory doesn’t have a single decent WYSIWYG blogging client. Not one!?
