One of the reasons I used to tell myself I don’t write here as often as I used to is that there aren’t good free blogging tools for my platform. That was true a while ago, but certainly not today. If your using a standard blogging engine such as wordpress, movabletype, blogger.com etc. then you should look into a free add-on to the firefox browser called scribefire. If you have access to your blog via ftp, it will even insert the images into your posts with fair ease. So perhaps now I will add to the blog a bit more regularly.
