“A handy way of editing multiple blogs”
Do you have a blog? If so, you may be interested in this handy Firefox extension: ScribeFire.
With ScribeFire you can write blog posts within the web browser, without having to login to your blogging platform. It has an attractive interface and all the features you would find in the standard online editor of your blogging system.
ScribeFire is very easy to use: all you have to do is press F8 or click the little icon in the bottom right corner to display the main editing window. You can have multiple posts open at the same time and switch from one to another with tabs. There are also buttons to learn more about monetizing your blog, promote your posts in popular social websites like Facebook and Digg, and tweak the extension's settings.
ScribeFire supports several blogging platforms, including Wordpress, Drupal, Movable Type, Blogger and Tumblr. Setting it up is not difficult at all. Simply enter the URL for your blog and ScribeFire will detect the system automatically. And as the extension can handle several blogs simultaneously, you can update them all from one single editor.
Web pages, images, and videos are very easy to embed with ScribeFire. And if you run out of inspiration, don't worry: the extension saves everything you've typed into the editor, even after closing the browser.
ScribeFire is a handy, powerful alternative to standard online blogging editors.

Publishers with custom domains hosted on Google's Blogger blog-publishing service have been losing traffic for the past week due to a bug affecting how visitors get redirected from the Blogger domain to the publishers' own domains. The problem hits when someone tries to visit a blog by going to its Blogspot URL, which follows the format: BlogName.Blogspot.com, instead of going directly to the site's custom domain. Ironically, Google is among the publishers affected by the problem, as can be seen by attempting to visit the company's official blog for its Orkut social network through its Blogspot address: http://officialorkutblog.blogspot.com/. Under normal circumstances, the visitor would be automatically redirected to the custom domain URL, which in the case of the Orkut blog is http://en.blog.orkut.com/ While the problem is caused by an issue in a Blogger system, its severity varies depending on which browser Web site visitors are using. For example, internal tests at IDG News Service showed that visitors using Firefox 3 or Safari 4 will see a page that warns them they are about to be redirected to a blog that isn't hosted on Blogger. The page states that the site "has not been checked for spam, viruses and other forms of malware" and gives the user the option to proceed to the page or not. It's safe to assume that Web surfers with an average sense of caution will not click through to the site, considering the terse warning. While this is bad enough, the situation gets even worse with Internet Explorer 7, which shows visitors an error page that says the browser can't display the Web site, giving the sense that the site either doesn't exist or is offline.
