Bloggers rejoice: Scribefire plug-in makes your task easier
Images, links and text for a blog post can come from a variety of sites all over the web. Just keeping track of all the webpages can be a headache in itself and can extend the time a blogger spends posting by double or triple.
Scribefire, a Firefox plug-in solves a lot of those problems, taking a lot of the headaches out of the technichal mechanics of blogging.
Yes, a Firefox plug-in. If you don’t have Firefox, go to Mozilla.org and download it now. It’s available for Mac, Windows and Linux, so there’s no excuse. I’ll be here when you get back.
Good. You’re back. What Scribefire does is wait in a little sliding window at the bottom of your screen for you to decide you want to blog about something. Click the tablet icon, and it slides up with a selection of your blogs — and it coordinates with all the major ones — and a screen for writing.
To get a quote, you can drag copy directly from the webpage to the blogging screen. If you highlight the link in the URL window and then click the hyperlink button in Scribefire, it copies the URL and gives you a checkbox to open a new window.
You can start a post and finish it later, because it holds your text in memory until you delete it.
You can collect information from a string of tabs and always have your blog post ready.
The plug-in also supports text ads and gives you an easy means to post your update to social networking sites such as del.icio.us, Facebook, Digg and StumbleUpon.
If you need to do some quick HTML for something other than your blog, you can write in Scribefire, click the View HTML panel, and copy it into whatever web document you’re working with.
And it’s free.
Scribefire helps decrease webpage clutter and makes blogging much easier.
