Brought to you Live From Blogo!

This post is brought to you directly from my desktop by Blogo,

an easy to use desktop blog publishing interface that can publish to a variety of blog systems (Blogger, WordPress, TypePad, MovableType, typo,Expression Engine, Drupal and Dasblog) as well as microblogging capabilities (Twitter).

Installing Blogo was a breeze; just download the file from Blogo, double click to open up the .dmg file and drag the Blogo application to your application folder - and presto - you are ready to go!

Blogo uses the drag-and-drop technique that is familiar across Apple software, so learning how to add pictures in Blogo is quite simple as well.

Blogo gives you the option of posting directly online or saving your posts as off-line drafts to be posted at a later time to your blog account.

For those that don't like to play with software to learn how to use it (I prefer this method), Blogo does come with a very well written help file that will guide you through the usage of the software.

Blogo contains support for HTML Snippets, so it is easy to add content from YouTube, Flickr, Google Maps and more.

You have the options of two views while working with Blogo; the standard view

or the expanded (full-screen) view.

Blogo also has a preview screen available for you to preview how your post is going to look in your blog before you publish it (this part requires an active internet connection).

In all, I found Blogo and easy to use desktop blogging client. There were some quirks and quarks with the posting process, but nothing that wasn't sorted out (needed to log into Picassa for Blogo to upload the pictures to my account)

If you would like to try Blogo out, they have a 21-day free trial (no limitations) or purchase a license for 25$.
