Dial-down

6 June 2007 · 2 Comments

I want to make blog entries … I really, really want to, but I can’t even load the damned site with my dial-up connection. Having condensed my two phone lines to a single line (cost savings), the dial-up connection has gotten even slower, potentially due to a fault on the line.

Perhaps there is a client application that will allow me to create posts and upload them when I get to work?

The surest way to lose all interest in your blog is to stop posting on a regular basis. It’s not intentional, just a pain tolerance level has been breached.

    I haven’t personally used any off-line blog editing software, but found a few links.

    qumana – http://www.qumana.com/download.htm
    ecto – http://ecto.kung-foo.tv/

    And, I believe it’s possible to email new posts to your blog (not sure about uploading imags and whatnot, but it should work for text) – http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=41452

    Don’t stop writing, I’m vicariously living in Ireland through you! :-)

    I already had begun checking out Qumana and will give ecto a peek.

    Yeah, the text thing seems pretty straightforward and even in Qumana, the image placement is a bit clunky with no automated FTP.

    I’ve been loving Twitter. So easy to use!
