OK, pleased as can be with Zoundry’s Blogwriter

Of course, that’s not saying all that much… heh
 
OK, check out the download page, if you’re interested:
 
The d/l page notes the known issues with this beta. Of course, it misses some of what I call issues (like missing common keyboard shortcuts, etc.). But I can live with that—which is what I mean by “pleased as can be”… under the circumstances.
 
One neat advantage: Firefox is the only browser that consistently does (did) a good job of interfacing with the Blogger editor.  And that’s the ONLY thing I used Firefox for, since it’s so much clunkier and less elegant in use than Opera.  Now, I’ll have even less reason to fire up Firefox.  Nice.
 
Still, editing with Blogwriter is clumsy: too many mouse clicks and such needed.  I miss much of the keyboard functionality that’s normal in Windows apps.  And it is NOT available for users of any Windows version older than Windows 2000, so Win98/Me users are out in the cold.
 
Yet, it seems useful, so I think I’ll keep it around for a while.
