Blog Editor(s)

I'm new to blogging. I'm still a "Desktop Bee" and for past few days I was looking for a good editor that can make blogging easy for me. Especially because, I sometimes found blogger.com either too slow or giving error messages. (Well.. I don't know if it was just me. And, I didn't dig more into that). 

Of all the applications that I tried, Windows Live Writer is worth mentioning. I would say that it was good. Quite fast, unlike any other MS products. But I really had an issue with it when I had to switch between proxies. Somehow, it was not really liking my proxy settings. And the weird fact is that, it works when I have my proxy settings ON, and not the otherwise (I would have expected the contrary, though!).

Having that not really useful, I spent some time today finding a good way to do the blogging "faster & easier". And, it's my conclusion that publishing your posts by e-mail is the best! Blogger lets you to configure an e-mail id, to which you can send your posts. It accepts text and pictures now (I'm gonna send this one by e-mail). However, the e-mail ID needs to be maintained as "secret" so that, you don't allow others to publish through your blog! Blogger actually doesn't validate the e-mail ID from which the message is received. I tried with Google Mail and Yahoo.. Both works. Plus, I think this is useful for the ones that does not have access to internet based e-mail at their work. You can still send your post from your work e-mail.

I think this is the better solution than the others, that I tried.
