Never mind that, with NaNoWriMo<\/a> over, my time is only booked about 150%.<\/p>\n

Fog Software has released CityDesk<\/a>, which looks to be a PC-based blogging tool (actually, it can be used for any sort of article publishing, like running a newsletter, a paper, whatever). I’ve been intermittently unhappy with Blogger’s service (and occasional quirks), but haven’t been willing to invest in learning a web\/CGI-based tool like Movable Type. (And, yes, I know, it’s not all that difficult. Still …). <\/p>\n

CityDesk looks like it will have the advantages of (a) being highly WYSIWYG, and (b) letting me do stuff offline and publish later. Both of which are Good Things, IMO.<\/p>\n

So I’m gonna check out the free personal edition, to see if it’s usable. And, if so … well, that might make a few things easier than they have been. And, if not … c’est la vie<\/i>. In either case, I’ll let y’all know.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: “The free starter edition is not yet ready for download as of November 29, 2001. Please check this page again in a few days.” *Sigh*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
