{ScribeFire, quite something for lo-bandwidth blogger}

April 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I know how blogging with wordpress is made much more easier when you install ScribeFire extension to your Firefox, but from here it’s much more than that… aside from making blogging much more easier it’s also easier on the bandwidth, so people (like me) who blog less coz of bandwidth problems can take advantage and blog right away… by clicking the ScribeFire icon on the status bar area of my Firefox!

How so?
If you have lo-bandwidth connection you’ll have to login first, which then take you to the wordpress Dashboard, and in lo-bandwidth connection you’ll have to wait till all the links and everything else in the Dashboard loaded… and then when you click the link to Write a new Post, it gets better, you’ll have to wait till the textarea is loaded and everything else that are loaded from external sources, this is especially slow if you use Visual Editor to blog. And this is where ScribeFire comes to the rescue.

On first installation you’re gonna have to configure your blog, and after that everything becomes faster, you’d click the button on the right part of Firefox status bar and voila, even if you’re using Visual Editor, it’ll load in seconds, in fact instantly… you start writing something, set Categories, set Tags, probably throw some images and whatnot, finally ‘Publish to “myblog”‘, and it’s all done.

Awesome!
You bet… well, you’ll have to use Firefox though, it’s not available for any other browser. After getting Firefox installed, just download the latest version of ScribeFire from the link below (at the time of writing it’s version 2.0.1) :

download ScribeFire from Firefox Add-ons, oh, FYI, I’m blogging this using ScribeFire! hehehe…

So we the hi-bandwidth people won’t be needing this anyway?
Well, if you really like to post using the wp-admin, then I don’t see the need for you to… but you should know that ScribeFire features more than just quick flick blogging, see for yourself on the download page. I think it’s a good replacement for the wordpress admin page (or movabletype admin page or any well-known blogging engine featuring xmlrpc out there).

Conclusion?
Try it!
