Tool for blogging

Here's something for you to try if you are using a Mac - widget for your dashboard which allows you to quickly make blog posts without having to go online.

The advantage of a tool like this is that you can quickly record ideas and define which blog they go into. Here is an image of me setting it up on my Mac. Excellent possibilities here.

I've labelled this post with techie and tool plus put a link to the right so you can find all items we post.
