Software: 4 Blogging

IDevice Icon Post2Blog 3.01

Image of man standing with brief-case and text Byte Scout Software Development Post two blog Freeware Blog Editor with live-spellchecking and rich functionality for pro-bloggersToday I’ve looked at this WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) blog editor; apparently it used to cost about £20 but now is absolutely FREE!

So far it has been easy to use and the keyboard shortcuts for Microsoft(c) Word all appear to work (I haven’t tried them all yet!) There are some handy features...

  • Clicking the Advanced icon provides extra tools including bullets
  • a live spell-checker
  • a toolbar for Microsoft Word and
  • add-ons for Internet Explorer and Firefox.

I’m impressed, so far, with Post2Blog - a desktop blogging client for Windows.

Well worth looking at if you and/or your learners use blogs as part of 'learning & teaching' or as ePortfolios etc.
