Which blog editor do you use? (for WordPress)

I just tried publishing a post to my WordPress post from Google Docs. The post got published but the formatting is crappy. Which in your opinion is the best editor to create and post to WordPress?

 

Whats the point in using a posting program when you have one built into wordpress. But if I had to choose one it would be Adobe Contribute.

i'm using ÅŸin wordpress . it has a good editor to edit blog posts

 

I use the built-in writer only though I used to use performancing.

 

WordPress as there isn't much of a reason to do otherwise. Sure, remote posting may appeal to some, but exact formatting is important to me.

 

I agree exactly

 

I've found posts sometimes go missing in Wordpress when using the inbuilt editor. Occasionally I've saved the draft and then it simply disappears. There was a thread about it on the Wordpress forums but there was no resolution. This is using Wordpress 2.1 as well, with the auto-save feature. Therefore I write everything in Notepad now and paste it into Wordpress when I'm done - there is nothing worse than losing a whole post after an hour's work

 

Sharky -- Sometimes I write my longest WP articles in Notepad, add in some HTML, and then post same to WordPress. That way, I have an extra back up for the article in case the worst happens; you just can't ever be too careful.

 

While we are on the topic, check this blog post out. It's on how to publish to a blog using MS Office Word 2007.

I have to try it out.

 

Sri, I wouldn't purchase MS Office 2007 as I have an earlier version. Besides, Google is pushing their open source alternatives to office and Open Office is yet another alternative.

Why promote Microsoft, a company on its way out?

 

I have tried that before, and it doesn't work out that well.
Besides, I see no reason to open up the processor Hog, that is all MS products, to make a blog post that is perfectly doable in the Word Press Editor.

Yes, Notepad is the future! Woo! Seriously, I do exactly the same. Having a local copy is invaluable and I have lost too many posts to Wordpress to trust their inbuilt editor anymore.

I've also used wbloggar.com which is a nice text editor that let you add in links etc with a DP like interface rather than having to hand code everything.

 

I'm still sticking with the built-in editor, although I attempted using Qumana once.

And yes, gotta have the Notepad .txt backups!

 

inbuilt editor... then if i'm offline i just pound out posts in good ole text docs... am I naive for not having txt backups? uh oh...

 

Not if you back up your blog faithfully. Once, I lost the blog but had my backup handy for uploading. Within five minutes everything was back in place.

 

Built-in editor of WP is probably bast and fastest choice!!

 

I agree with that rav...I love the fact that WP seems to have covered all the bases, and those they haven't have been covered by others.

 

definitely the in-built WordPress one

 

Speaking of WordPress, upgrading to v. 2.2 was a bear! If you haven't done so yet, be prepared to upload hundreds of files.

 

I always use the built in one.
