I am not one of those who might care too much about other people's blogging or blog editor problems (my Firefox spelling editor didn't know "blog" or "blogging" right now!), because I have not yet started a blog myself. But of course one day I just might, so I am curious how to maybe do it via Firefox. Did you try ScribeFire (or maybe you don't use Firefox or Chrome?) which some of the posts spoke so highly about?-Curt
Well, like I said, I wasn't really looking for a blog editor.
As far as Scribefire goes, I haven't used it long enough to encounter the formatting problems but for the most part I find blog editors to be slow compared to gmail and their cramped spaces don't allow for the length of blog posts I write compared to full screen/pop-up gmail textbox.
They're also for the most part "worrisome" to save drafts into and they still have options that get in the way compared to an e-mail box. I compare it to using Word over notepad.
In the end it's different purposes though. Blog editors are for backups while gmail is for me, ease of editing/typing over other editors with minimum fluff except what gmail offers.
