Post from your desktop
Just like ecto or Marsedit, Blogo allows you to post on your blog straight from your desktop.
To attract serious bloggers, Blogo has gone for a slim designed interface aimed to combine simplicity with functionality.
The application is divided into two sections "Edit" and "Create". You can search and view posts from a side window that slides open. Overall, it's simple to work with however everything does feel a little over-designed, so the first time you use it you might feel a little confused.
For one, it doesn't look like your typical Apple program.
Blogo works with all the major blog services including WordPress, Blogger, Typo or TypePad.
Although fairly easy to set up, Blogo does encounter some issues when connecting to your account. However we appreciated being able to save multiple accounts and quickly switch between them.
If you aren't signed up to any blog service yet, Blogo will show a comparison chart of each service with links to quickly sign up.
Once you've written up a post and added links you can edit it before sending it to your blog.
We quite liked having a preview window, which really lets you see what the post will look like before actually publishing it. Posting images and html snippets is also really easy.
Just drag and drop them into the interface.
Although the interface can seem a little off-putting at first, Blogo is a good attempt at a desktop blog editor.Changes
