BlogDesk - free software for Blog writing and publishing

Sometimes, blog post preparation for publishing takes more time than post generation. It is not suppose to be like that. You should delegate as much responsibilities for the post publishing to your secretary (if you have one), or software.

BlogDesk is an offline software client that assists you in comfortable writing and easy publishing new posts to your blog.

Software Features:
* The main feature - it is totally free to use.

* Software is optimized for the following blogging platforms: WordPress, MovableType, Drupal, Serendipity, and ExpressionEngine.

* Insert images directly with WYSIWYG editor, edit them with built-in ImageWizard, and even create linked thumbnails.

* Easily insert and edit links. If you link to local files (such as MP3 or PDF), BlogDesk will automatically upload them to your blog file storage.

* For multi-language blogging, you got 14 Dictionaries to conduct spell checking.

* Interesting feature of Frequently Used Phrases saves time on typing of often used phrases, sentences, acronyms or complex formulations.

* Define and insert tags instead of retyping them with Tags-Generator.

* Publish you post simultaneously to multiple blogs with one click.

* Keep your ideas and notes for the future posts in the convenience of Notebook, where you are able to create multiple entries under multiple categories.

P.S. The only thing, I do not like in this software - is that it does not support Blogger.

Football bloggers needed.

Oh, I am disappointed! I searched for blogging opportunities on cricket. I am passionate about cricket and I can write top quality blog articles on cricket.

I searched for nearly an hour with several keywords such as 'Cricket Bloggers', 'Blogging on cricket' and so on. But nothing was found even after an hour.

But I kept stumbling on this title: "Football bloggers needed". More bloggers are needed from Norway, Holland, Macedonia and Iceland; they are required to make blog articles on their national football team members.

Though I watch football, I have no real big interest in it.

Can babies sleep on foam mattress?

What if I tell you that some adults can’t sleep on foam mattress; will you believe me?

But you must, my mother-in-law will never sleep on a foam mattress because she says she is not comfortable with its bouncy nature. Also, she is of the opinion that it adds to the body heat.

Oh, some assumption really! When my son was born, she refused to lay him down on my new foam mattress.

But for me, I always await 10 PM eagerly. The thought of sinking down on the luxury of foam mattress will push my laborious day with anticipation.

If by any chance, you are contemplating to buy yourself a new foam mattress, please remember to visit Bedinabox.com before you make up your mind. They offer 120 day in- home trial.

Lifetime warranty on computer memory.

Hmm... I am not bad. I am impressed with my diagnosing abilities. It seemed to have improved due to prolonged exposure to computer and Internet.

Oh, you thought I am a doctor of medicine? I am far too off being a doctor that can diagnose human ailment; I can say exactly when I have to enhance computer memory. I know because I have done that already twice in the last 6 months.

The first time I did, I was deceived by a shop who supplied me with inferior quality RAM. It did not last even 60 days; it slowed down my computer considerably. It started behaving as if it has become a human being; I mean it took nearly 4 minutes to process a simple command like ‘wake up’. (Smile)

There, I have learnt a lesson. I became smart with my knowledge of shopping for computer parts. I knew where to buy. The second time, I bought the computer memory from 4AllMemory.com. They source computer memory from only the most trusted suppliers in the industry and go the extra mile of offering a lifetime warranty on any memory upgrade.

How to avoid fatal addiction.

I hate news stories that pokes at peoples’ emotion and make them act contrary to their nature. But we are constantly subjected to only that-stories of vio…, cri…. See, I am not even prepared to spell them out fully.

At a shopping mall yesterday, I was forced to hear a sad story of middle aged father who was a victim of his own bad habits. Oh, do I need to say that he was an addict to fatal drugs?

The gossipers of his story were accusing doctors of a local hospital for their inability to cure him of his addictions. How can they? No addict can be cured outside the confines of a drug rehabilitation clinic. Treatment for all sorts of addictions should be entrusted to the care of specialist professionals only and not to doctors who attend to small ailments.

Oh, God, when will the people learn?

Blogging communities.

One of the blogging communities like Mybloglog.com and Blogcatalog.com is Bumpzee.com. It is definitely not as popular as the other two and I could point out a couple of reasons for that.

1. I always have trouble logging in there. Their system keeps saying that my login details are incorrect. And I know they are correct.

2. Their response to bugs is not forthcoming at all. Or, may I have overlooked it? I doubt so.

3. Their website is certainly slow in loading.

Though I don't find anything wrong with the users of Bumpzee.com, somehow I feel they are not as enthusiastic as the members of the other two mentioned above. It is true that many members of may use all the three but it is just my feeling.

Any feedback on this? Do you know of any other active blogging communities?
