I downloaded this blogging editor from the Firefox website.
Like many add-ons, it was easy to obtain–I simply clicked on the link and it installed itself (after Firefox restarted).
That was easy, right? Not exactly. I ran into a problem when I tried to configure it to work with my blog. I entered the setup information, but it wouldn’t log in. I tried again, and again, and again. I searched through the software website but still couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Finally, I searched the Movable Type forum, where I discovered that I had to use the API password, which is different than the general Movable Type password.
Finally, with that change, success. It’s handy being able to blog in the same window as your browser. You can drag down items from your browser window and add them to your blog entry. Hopefully, I pick up a few other tricks and streamline the blogging process.
