Thoughts from the office by Ed Ball
Tuesday, August 26, 2003

I typed up that last entry, clicked Post to Weblog... and got an error message. My heart skipped a beat because I realized that I've been breaking my own rule -- never type interesting content into a browser window, because you're liable to lose it. Of course it wasn't still there when I hit the Back button. Fortunately the post actually made it through, so I didn't have to try to reproduce what I wrote -- which I really, really don't like to do.

Of course, typing a blog entry should be fairly spontaneous, so my standard procedure of first typing the entry into TextPad would be a bit much. Perhaps I'll try to remember to Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C before posting in the future. Just in case.

There is an easier way..;)
I use NewsGator for my RSS desktop aggregator (which integrates into Outlook). AND, to top it all off there is a new DasBlog plugin for Newsgator that allows you to post to your blog using a great outlook e-maily style editor (which you can save just like email). Here are the links below...

Of course, if you don't want an RSS aggregator or you don't want to pay for this one. You can always set up the mail-to-weblog settings for dasblog so you can also send an email blog.

Hope this helps.
