This morning I’m trying out offline blog editors, I’ve decided that if I’m going to post more often, I need to integrate the blogging experience deeper into my daily workflow. And I think that may become easier if I always have a new-post window open not in the browser, but on my desktop. (I may even assign a Mac OSX Leopard ‘Space’ to it.)

The first offline editor that I tried was AirPress, a hybrid blog editor using Adobe AIR technology, I really wanted it to work, really badly because I’m a big fan of Adobe AIR, it’s a great platform in my book. But it just didn’t do everything that it claimed to do (at least in my first install attempt). It refused to pick up my iSight for web cam recording, it wouldn’t insert small jpg’s into the editor, and it never actually uploaded anything to my blog. I’ve emailed the AirPress people and I hope it’s just something I’m doing and not the application itself, if I can get it working, I’ll use it.

In the meantime I’m trying out Qumana which, despite not being as pretty as AirPress, appears to be working.

More to come!
