Apr 29: Testing Performancing A standalone editor for Bloggers

So what is this you ask? Well Performacing is and extension for firefox and Mozilla browsers. What does it do?
Well it allows you to add new content without having to login to your Blogger, Wordpress or  your Moving Type account pages. For me, what's better is that it also works very well with my blogging software, Serendipity which is a fine bit of code from the very nice guys at S9Y 

Performancing has most of the tools you need, a standard editor, a HTML editor and that it, you really don't need more than that. You can even have multiple blogs configured, so it's a one interface that does all interfaces.

Other notable features:
  • Easy Technocati tagging
  • You can see your catagories
  • You can see your previous entreries.
  • You can keep notes.

The extension works by splitting your browser window, with the editor interface either at the top or bottom, this is configurable.
Not sure if this is a must have extension, but a very nice one none the less.
Other features that the folks at performacing offer, is site stats. Will have to give that a spin.
One downside I suppose for this extension is that I don't have access to the advanced publishing features that my blog does on posting which is to ping most blogger trackers to say that I have a new entry in my Blog, I can't comment on other blogging software applications as I've only used this on my software.

how does it compare to the w.bloggar posting tool? i've been using that for years and it works well.

I wouldn't be able to tell you that Q, as I haven't use w.blogger. What I do like about it though is that it can be viewed as one interface that serves all. Give it a spin, it's not a big download and can be used, as mentioned, on many different blogging software.
