Scribefire for Firefox - A useful blogging extension
I’ve recently found myself using the Firefox Extension Scribefire more and more. It hides away nicely as a single button on your status bar, but when opened shows itself to be a well-functioned editor for writing blog posts. You can drag and drop text into a post, work on posts you’ve already published, and most handy for myself, choose from several different blogs to post to, across multiple blogging platforms. I’ve found it works well with WordPress.
The only proviso I’d make is that it appends a “Powered by Scribefire” message to the end of your posts. You can however turn this off. With the editor open, click on the double arrows in the top left-hand corner. In Settings > Publishing is an option to remove this. Apart from this minor annoyance, I do like to use it, it seems a little more natural and easier to compose in than WordPress’s own interface.

Hi,
very interesting post. I’ve been using Firefox for many years, but was unaware of this particular extension. I shall dash-off now and give Scribefire a try.
Thanks very much,
Matthew.
