Kudos to Ben for the many wonderful, supportive comments he’s made in response to posts about Blogo. I have to give BIG thumbs-up for that!

I continue to use Windows Live Writer via virtualization, because it supports copying and pasting of embedded videos (and Flash) right into the post bodies, and showing them as-is.

Have you used WLW, Christina?

Thanks for your review. We’re glad you had a better experience this time around. To address some of your points:

Links: Not sure what happened for you. How was it difficult to change the link? You should be able to click it and have an edit sheet appear in the window.

Preview: There is a very explicit warning when generating the preview which advises the user to watch out for plugins which take action on new posts. If you have a plugin which tweets new articles, it would have to be turned off first. Unfortunately there’s not much more we can do to help prevent these kinds of things from happening.

Lists: This is how lists work in Apple’s WebKit browser. Two line breaks are needed to create a new bullet so that the user can add a line break within a list item if desired. As for having to tap the button three times, we decided that ordered and unordered lists did not merit separate buttons in the interface (advanced users can use the shortcuts in the Format menu to jump to toggle the two types directly).

Excerpt field: You can define the excerpt by choosing Format > Insert > Content separator (also in the context menu) or just putting three hash marks (#) on their own line.

So far, so good but I appreciated your cons to the app. Gives me a list to watch out for as I test it out.

You have one of the only reviews of blogo out there that I’ve found so congrats and thanks.
