After an exhaustive test of Blogo (by Brainjuice software.) I have decided I LOVE it and purchased it today. (The timed trial ended.) I must say that the interface is as simple as it gets, and the desktop power is incredible. I am a pretty finicky guy when it comes to my blogs. I like to have the graphics, and thumbnails, and the content, and tags, and categories all working for me. Finding a desktop client to post my content from my desktop is an easy enough task. There are a lot of programs out there that accomplish this job. But finding a client that will allow me to post from my desktop, where I will have 100% confidence that what I posted will look like it is supposed to, and have all the necessary meta info at the same time, so that I do NOT need to redundantly re-visit my site to fix the things the desktop client got wrong; That is a truly gifted product.

An added bonus was the Twitter feature that is built into Blogo. Stay with me now, ’cause the geekery is going to get a bit thick. But I have a pretty active Facebook page. I use it for work, rambling and keeping up with colleagues as well as friends and family. I also have a twitter account that is mostly geared towards my Web Comic: Artist Gullible. I have recently discovered a Facebook app that reads selective Twitter posts and places them on my Facebook page, often killing two birds with one stone. This is cool, but to level up, I can now create a blog entry in Blogo, twitter about it from Blogo and Facebook will then pick up the twit and the link back to my original blog post. ALL WITHOUT LEAVING MY DESKTOP!

My geekery is now complete and I am actually being more productive doing it.
