Test Posting from Tomboy

I've tried posting a note on my personal/crafting blog using Tomboy already. But not yet on this blog. It's interesting because I am used to Drivel, where I have to do the mark-up myself. In Tomboy, it's like I am using a rich text editor or something. Lists will be easier to make, same thing goes for other formatting needs.
Things that will be easy using Tomboy as a blogging client:
- Using bullet points.
- Putting links.
- All basic mark-up related tasks and editing.
- Having a better idea of what the post will look like, more or less, at least in terms of the styles of the fonts, etc.
- Copying and pasting information from other notes. Tomboy has a search function I could use for that.
What are difficult things to do with Tomboy as a blogging client:
- Embedding videos and images. At least not now. I have yet to test it and see for myself if there's actually a way.
- Tagging blog entries.
- Assigning categories.
It's going to be tricky but for text-heavy posts, Tomboy seems to work fine. I guess that for quick notes that I want to publish right away, Tomboy could be the tool to do just that.
