wbloggar is a pain. It’s nice to have an editor app to write blog entries, but for some reason when I edit an entry with wbloggar and then post it again, it sets posts.post_category and post2cat.category_id to -1, which causes all wordpress to barf. You can’t fix it from the WP interface, so I’ve had to go straight to mysql to fix it when this happens. Ugh. Maybe someone out there knows of a better blog editor?

Why don’t I just use WP’s online post interface? 1) it’s online, and sometimes it takes me a while to complete a post, and 2) it has these f**king HORRIBLE keyboard shortcuts that cause the whole entry to be erased sometimes. I know that would be easy to fix, but I haven’t bothered yet because I usually prefer to write offline anyhow.

Also, Picasa2 is sooo nice — BUT I can’t get past the fact that I don’t have a way to easily post images to WordPress. I spent some time a while back scripting up an interface btw iMatch and WP, and it works so well I don’t want to abandon it. Luckily the edits and captions I put in place with Picasa seem to stick when I suck the photos into iMatch, so not too much is lost. It’s really too bad that Picasa isn’t a more open platform - maybe someone has figured out the database format? Or maybe there isn’t a database… But then where are the tags and captions stored?
