Scribefire is wicked software as well, used that for a good couple weeks and enjoyed the experience. I've probably tried around 8 windows applications and 3 or 4 Mac applications, all of which have a few excellent selling points than the others, but at the end of the day, it's the lightness of BlogDesk that makes it sticky for me; my only wish is that Johannes Oppermann would update the software from time to time to stay in-line with how Wordpress is moving, especially with the release of 3.0 coming out..

It allows you to import all current posts and pages and edit it if required. It also allows you to do a live preview within the tool before publishing. This is very handy with ads and affiliate banners to see how it will looks before publishing. It is also very easy to ad images and videos and has all the bells and whistles to edit image with ALT and TITLE info. Another one with similar features that compliment blogging well when both are used is SCRIBEFIRE, a firefox addon that allows you to do everything within a new TAB in Firefox. Both are new generation desktop blogging tools that make creating an attractive post very easy. ScribeFire even include ping functions to various hosts. Hi Chris,
