ScribeFire: Blogger’s Friend

I’ve known about ScribeFire for quite a while.  But I’ve never used it.  Today, I’m taking it on a test run.

In case you don’t know, ScribeFire is a free Mozilla Firefox extension that allows one to write blog posts from within the Firefox browser.  This is really convenient, especially if one is blogging about information gleaned from the internet.  Just check one’s sources in various browser tabs, then write the blog in another tab.  It’s that simple — at least, so I’m told.

By default, ScribeFire opens two screens, with the blog itself on top, and the post entry form on the bottom.  The bottom screen can be saved as a “note,” rather than a post published on the blog — very useful when building a post over several days of research.  While writing, one can easily insert links, photos and video.

ScribeFire works with a number of different blogging platforms.  I use WordPress — and ScribeFire did all the behind the scenes work to set itself up to post items there.  Also, one can add a number of different blogs to a list, so that you can easily post to multiple blogs from one place.
