Woo! Just installed Scribefire.
To explain – one of the reasons I don’t blog much is because the internet is such a distracting place. You know what it’s like – you’re surfing around, you read an interesting article, you think ‘gee that’s interesting, I should share’ and then next thing you know an email or IM arrives, or you click a link and see something else, or a new Twitter post grabs your attention (or in my case, the dog starts barking, or I’m reminded of neglected chores – software can’t help with those) and BAM – the thought is gone.
For me it’s a constant struggle to stay focussed on one thing long enough to actually do something meaningful with it, my brain just soaks up all the information it can and heaps it in huge, dust soaked piles of knowledge at the back of my head (where it will probably remain forever – the filing system back there is woeful and recalling most of it is getting harder and harder).
Anyway… the simple action of clicking a couple of links (or in my case typing a URL, since I haven’t even bookmarked this blog) is sometimes the barrier between spewing forth a torrent of words onto screen, or.. not.
Enter Scribefire, the blogging extension for Firefox. I now have a lovely little icon in Firefox’s status bar (incidentally, right next to the Firebug icon, which is another FANTASTIC plugin). When I want to blog, I click the icon, and BAM, I have a WYSIWYG editor in my browser, so I can get it all off my chest without even changing tabs.
This is only my first post using it, so don’t expect an in-depth review or anything, but… wow. Why did I not use this before?
