Windows Live Writer equivalent?

[netbookguru]

Hi!

Is there a good Windows Live Writer equivalent for Ubuntu, something that would let me post on my wordpress blogs in a more convenient way?

Well I'm not sure about any out of the browser software however you could always try Scribefire I use it to post to my blog right from the browser. Others may be able to direct you more.


As a side note I'm going to move this thread to general help it should get a little more attention there.

Thank you Angel for the reply. Unfortunately, I'm looking for something that is not browser-based, something that lets me work off-line.

I am not a professional blogger and I use the free wordpress blog account.
I write my blogs on Evolution and save it as draft. When I am ready to publish it I just send it to my wordpress blog.
What's great about it is I get confirmation email when it is posted. Really, I don't go to my browser anymore!

That sounds like a good workaround! I'll report back if it works for me

You can run Scribefire as a Prism app, and it works more or less like WLW. That's really the only thing I miss in switching to Ubuntu.

Hello everybody.

I'm a full time blogger (Spanish blgs), and like you I was looking for a WLW alternative but I couldn't find something good. So, I probed: BloGTK in Gnome environment and Blogilo in KDE (this one run in Gnome too, but I had some problems with checkspelling). And if you want to use Blogilo in Gnome you must to add a sqlite database manually.

A second solution I probed was use a localhost server (Wamp) with Wordpress in my hard disk. So, I can write all my post in it and then pass all the HTML to blog site when all is finished.

And third, I'm testing use OpenOffice Writer. I made a template with my clients blogs formating text and when all is finished I copy and paste and the blog sites using the "Word Paste" option in the visual editor of Wordpress.

That's all

Sorry for my English but I'm learning English just for 3 months. If you have found out a better solution please tell me which one is

Best regards.
