Blogo is a blog editor for the Mac and Mashable has a nice review for the application. The new release also adds comment moderation for Wordpress 2.7 or higher, improved Safari integration, and offline editing. I presonally never got into desktop applications for blogging but I happen to find some sort of creative solace in the WordPress admin interface.

Some of it being news posts, how-to guides, reviews, breaking news, etc. So, since it’s near the end of the year, I thought I would take a trip through the WLTC Archive and revisit come classic posts from 2008.

                  Merry Christmas, It’s Plugin Review time again at WLTC

                  Posted by admin in WordPress, Blogging,... | 12.26.2008 - 3:28 am

                  Let me take this opportunity of wishing all the readers of Weblog Tools Collection a merry merry Christmas and happy holidays!
                  Our long time readers would remember two months in 2007 when we reviewed one WordPress plugin a day.
                  The last 18 months has seen a lot of changes in the world of WordPress. We’ve had several version updates including few really major upgrades since then as well as the introduction of the WordPress Plugin Repository.
                  With several new plugins being released everyday and several more updated regularly, we’ve decided it’s time once again for a plugin review.
                  However, this time instead of a daily review, we’ll be focusing on the reviewing a plugin a week. So, every Sunday, from next year, starting 4th of January, we will pick a plugin to feature.
                  So, how do we pick?
                  Just like we did the last time; through recommendations and requests. Are you a plugin author or user? […]

                    WordCamp Columbus Is On!

                    Posted by admin in WordPress, Blogging,... | 12.25.2008 - 4:41 pm

                    Thankfully, WordCamp Columbus is being held in Ohio rather than any of the other states that have a city named Columbus. In all honesty, I didn’t know this event was going to be in Ohio until I checked out their advertising graphics. If you are going to host a WordCamp event, please be sure to include city and state on the About page so that people know exactly where the event will take place. Or you’ll end up clueless like me.

                    With that said, I’m happy to see that a date has been nailed down for WordCamp Columbus, that being May 16th, 2009. I hope the event lasts during the entire weekend and not just on a Friday. The event looks to be taking place at Columbus State Community College. Unfortunately, due to WordCamp Mid-Atlantic occurring during the same weekend, Matt will only be doing a keynote session at the Mid […]
