Comments on: 4 Alternative Blogging Interfaces for WordPress http://clintlalonde.net/2009/09/24/4-alternative-blogging-interfaces-for-wordpress/ Trying to balance the ed with the tech Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:22:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: James http://clintlalonde.net/2009/09/24/4-alternative-blogging-interfaces-for-wordpress/comment-page-1/#comment-2991 James Fri, 25 Sep 2009 08:02:45 +0000 http://clintlalonde.net/?p=492#comment-2991 Interesting thoughts Clint. To be honest though, with the exception of email and Word, these methods have the user in the browser already and, as such, the WP interface would be the most elegant solution. There are also ways of posting the daily Delicious bookmarks to any blog, and I'm wondering if Posterous integration is something we'll see. Frankly the ways of having one social tool show up in another stream is starting to make me cross-eyed. With regard to Word, the blog post will likely need to be cleaned up and tagged or categorized later, while the email really comes into its own if you're doing mobile blogging. If WP would develop a really good smartphone app, then you'd have something. I also think about ways people can post from other apps to their WP blogs, but so far as your post alludes to, the options aren't all that great. Interesting thoughts Clint.

I do need to test Word out a bit more, but I have to<br />say my first post using Word turned out pretty clean. I was expecting<br />a lot of puff code, but none of that came out. But, as I stated in my<br />response to James above, I didn't do a lot of text formatting or try<br />things other than insert links into the body of the post. I may find<br />the code isn't so clean when I start pushing Word a bit. Thanks for that. I do need to test Word out a bit more, but I have to
