The many ways to post to your blog
There’s no excuse to not publish blog posts, you can do it from anywhere using various web tools!
BOOKMARKLET
Wordpress (Press It)
ONLINE OFFICE
Google Docs
MSWORD
Blogger
TOOLBAR
Blogger (Blog This)
RSS READER
Google Reader (Blog This)
…no longer available, but I’m sure lots of RSS Readers have this feature.
BLOG POST or RSS ITEM
If a blog feed has Feedburner flare you can post to your blog from someone else’s blog post or from an item in your RSS Reader, eg. Blog This (Blogger)
BLOGGING CLIENT
Desktop - Qumana
Web based - WriteToMyBlog
EMAIL
Blogmailr
…most blogging platforms have this feature anyway.
BROWSER EXTENSTION (right-click)
JustBlogIt
BROWSER SIDEBAR
Wordpress.com sidebar
…I have a bookmarklet that opens a sidebar in Internet Explorer (can’t find a reference to it on the web)
STARTPAGE
Quick Blog (Blogger)
IM
Imified
NOTE: Sabifoo doesn’t qualify as you would have to splice this feed into your blog feed.
SMS
LetMeParty
VOICE/PHONE
SpinmyBlog, by Spinvox, is a service where you can phone and leave a voicemail which will convert to text and publish to your blog.
If you promote your Spinvox number on your blog, people can ring up and leave voice comments that get converted to text.
[ADDED 02/05/07: Jott - link a Jott to a blog post…also using Egorcast]
[ADDED 02/06/07: Speakageline - post audio or video bytes from your phone, these would be podcast blog entries if your feed is podcast enabled.]
[ADDED 24/09/07: Utters - SMS or phone a blog post…now with AutoPost]
[ADDED 05/11/07: Springdoo]
API/PLUG-IN
Include content from elsewhere automatically to your blog
eg. your del.icio.us links, or Twitter posts.
[ADDED 12/07/07: xFruits RSS to blog]
MODIFY TIMESTAMP
Publish a post that has a future date, the post will magically publish in the future
What about publishing a blog post using a telegraph…see the hack to generate feeds!

I really like BlogJet (http://www.codingrobots.com/blogjet/) as a standalone client which posts to the most common blogging platforms.

How about ‘Blog This Photo’ in Flickr?

Lets not forget Windows Live Writer!
Comment by Paul OFlaherty — April 28, 2007 @ 5:22 pm
I’m a big fan of Windows Live Writer. Probably my favourite blog editor (used to be Qumana), and one of the things that Microsoft’s “Live” initiative has gotten right.

(BTW - I’m not a ’softie myself, either!)

How about www.scribefire.com Firefox extension?

I had no idea there were so many ways to update a blog. It makes the way i do it (log into the admin panel then copy and paste from writer) seem archaic.
Great info, cant wait to check some of these out.

I know it’s not free, but I know Adobe’s Contribute also has blogging features baked in. Just trying to add to the list.

I just signed up with Jott.com. It’s similar to the call to blog site you mentioned. BTW, thanks for the ideas.

I swear by the desktop client BlogDesk to post to my WordPress blog (it also works with MovableType, Drupal, Serendipity, ExpressionEngine and bloghosters Blogg.de and Twoday.net).

Also, don’t forget about Microsoft’s Live Writer, which is actually a pretty cool tool for an MS product. Within Firefox, you have the option of using ScribeFire, which opens up a blog publishing tool right within your browser. Cool stuff.

I really like Scribe Fire (previously Performancing), a Firefox extension that allows posting to multiple blogs, after a brief initial configuration.

Very useful rapidshare search. It includes over 4 000 000 files. Loadingvault.com is a best search engine designed to search files in various file sharing and uploading sites.
You can find the files shared on uploading sites that the other crawlers miss.
Loadingvault.com provides relevant search results.
Loadingvault.com will definitely make it easy for you to search rapidshare files instead of using complex Google operators.
Try Loadingvault.com in my opinion the best rapidshare search engine ever.
