ScribeFire and Clipmarks

April 15th, 2008

ScribeFire is a Firefox add-on which lets you post to your blog directly from your browser.
You can simply embed images, URLs and video’s in your post, like I’m doing now:

You can edit in both text, html, and design mode. When you’re done with your post, you just click publish and you’re done. You can also post a concept.

The advantage of this is that you can view the page with the content you want to post about and your posting window at the same time. You can also start writing immediately, without having to click through a few submenus.

Another nice tool for publishing on your blog instantly is clipmarks, which lets you ‘clip’ stuff and immediately post it to your blog. Only trouble is, it doesn’t work with edublogs (yet).
