20 Mac & Windows Apps for Desktop Blogging Every blogging platform has a built-in blog editor, some better than others. However, you’ll be hard pressed to find an online editor that can offer the richness found in many desktop applications. Features like offline editing and posting to multiple blogs at once make desktop solutions a must have for professional many bloggers.
Here’s a list of 20 applications that allow you to create blog posts from the comfort of your operating system environment, no internet connection required. I know this doesn’t strictly fit the category of a desktop blogging app, but it is a desktop app and it does have blogging integration so there. Flock is the most unique web browser I’ve ever come across and is absolutely worth checking out. The thing that makes Flock unique is that it has integrated tons of the services you use online into the browser itself (by default). This means you can browse the web while keeping tabs on your social networking and blogging services. The built-in blog editor isn’t as fully featured as Mars Edit, but as a free utility bundled in a browser it’s pretty impressive. Check out all the services Flock supports below.
Another really impressive Windows only app, RocketPost claims to be the “only one with WYSIWYG editing, full local editing and full blog import.” RocketPost boast tons of top notch features like automatic linking to related posts, quote tracking, quick linking, auto save, instant photo album creation, and scheduled posts. If you’re on Windows and are serious about blogging, this may be the way to go. Price: $29 And a Bunch More!
After you’ve listed the features for eight desktop blogging apps, things start to get redundant. So I’m going to stop there and let you check out the rest. The apps above are the ones I found particularly impressive or unique, but here’s another 12 that are definitely worth looking into. Conclusion You should now be more than equipped to enrich your blogging experience with a desktop application.

The WLW is an offline blog editor. This means that you can create blog entries in your PC without logging into your blog account. The benefits of having this offline blog editor is that it gives you more control over editing your blog entries when compared with the online web editor to which your blog belongs to. For example, you can easily insert pictures into your entries and then (after including a HTML code in your blog template) removing the picture “source” so that readers who visit your blog could not right click nor download your pictures. This feature is important for those who wishes to protect their pictures.
However, you still cannot stop someone from “Print Screening” your page and crop out the picture which they wish to get. This feature of not allowing someone to “right-click” and “save” your picture used to be important to me but not anymore.
This is because there really isn’t any privacy feature or copyright once you have posted your pictures online. In addition, if you take photographs for a living, you don’t really have to worry others of “stealing” your skills. Your skill is your skill and honestly, no one can take the exact same picture as you. That’s one cool feature of the WLW. The WLW also allows you to drag and resize your pictures to any size you like.
It allows you to insert watermark on your pictures and many other features which can save you a lot of time in blogging. Free label templates for mac. Personally, I am still not very familiar with Ecto and this is my first entry posting with it. It’s GUI (Graphical User Interface) is not as user-friendly as that of Windows Live Writer and (maybe I have not thoroughly explored this application) it doesn’t allow me to do much with pictures posted except for resizing and adding borders to them. And this point in time, I am still having problem posting pictures from Ecto to the Blog.

I’m still investigating into it. The pictures here are uploaded via the weblog editor from. There are other features which I have yet explore with Ecto like, “Trackback”, “Custom Tags” etc. Well, as anything in the world, nothing is perfect. But I do need to get to the bottom of the flaw in Ecto.
