ScribeFire is a Firefox add-in for bloggers, so I thought it would be a good one to start with. I am actually using it right now, as a matter of fact. Instead of browsing to my blog, logging in and clicking on "new post", all I have to do is click on this button on my browser and start typing. And, if I am blogging about the site I am currently looking at, then it automatically puts the web address of the page on the clipboard for me to use in links. One irritating thing I have run into so far is editing posted blogs. If you open a post that you created in ScribeFire, make a change, then publish it, a new post is created instead of updating the post. This is probably because most people don't edit their posts like I do. I'm bad about publishing a blog article before I really proof read it.

ScribeFire currently supports the following services:

• WordPress.com (http://www.wordpress.com)
• LiveJournal (http://www.livejournal.com)
• Windows Live Spaces (http://spaces.msn.com)
• Performancing (http://www.performancing.com)
• Jeeran (http://www.jeeran.com)
• Tumblr (http://www.tumblr.com/)
• MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/)
• b2Evolution (http://b2evolution.net)
• Splinder (http://www.splinder.com/)

With ScribeFire, you can browse the internet, and start blogging about whatever you just found without switching back and forth. The default view is split screen, which splits the screen with your browser and it is resizeable. Other options for views include opening it in a separate window and in a new tab. The text editor is just like the one you probably already use with your blogging software, so there's no real learning curve. You can also use it with multiple accounts if you blog at more than one site. All of your blog features are there--notes, categories, pages, etc. And you can preview your post in the same window to make sure everything looks right. And if you're not ready to publish it, you just save it as a note and work on it later.

Some other features include ScribeFire Ads, sharing with other sites, and working with multiple posts at one time using tabs.
