The Search for a Good Blogging Client

I’m using Drivel, and sometimes Tomboy to post blog entries on my blog. They each have different purposes that’s why I use them both. Tomboy is very useful when it comes to posting something without graphics and really quickly. I have the tendency to use Tomboy when I need to take down notes during conferences and other such meetings and get-togethers because the outliner of Tomboy is really easy to use. Drivel, on the other hand, is richer in the way that I could format my blog entries as well as the fact that I could insert image links in the blog entry.

Why am I searching for a good blogging client?

It’s simple really. I want to write my blog posts offline, and without distractions on the internet. If I have my browser open, I tend to just read on and on and I can’t stop myself so I end up clicking too many links and too many tabs and before I know it I haven’t written the blog entry I was originally thinking of. Sometimes I even forget what in the world the topic is!

I like it that Drivel and Tomboy can both post to WordPress and Livejournal blogs. But what I really am having difficulty with is posting with tags. Those things which add more clue as to what the blog entry is all about. Actually, in Tomboy there is none of that and in Drivel, I am limited to selecting only one category.

So how now?

I am not sure. BloGTK is giving me pains as I try to use it so I’d have to keep on searching for a good blogging client. What are you using? Maybe what you’re using is better than mine. Could you share with me what your blogging client is?  It would be great if it could let me update tags on blog entries.
