Reason for me:
- an
offline blog editor,
- a
portable one and
- has visual
HTML rich-text editor (as if I draft in MS Word (and use their formatting) it wont copy-paste nicely in Multiply).
Yes I can use in MS Frontpage or NVU. But Blog2Post is just
light (quick to load) &
portable. A bit disappointment is that some keyboard shortcut is not as same as MS Office. I dont really use the other features.
