20 Top Desktop Blogger Editors To Manage Your Blog Easily

Blogging is a thing that is getting very common on internet now-a-days. Bloggers do not just write articles. They have to do a lot of things to manage and promote their blogs. These activities range from commenting to finding useful design and software tools that allows more time for the business of writing and keeping readers happy. But at the same time, finding perfect tool for a task is difficult and time consuming. So, I have searched internet for best free blogging tools and services for bloggers and summed them up in this post.

1) Windows Live Writer :

Windows Live Writer will be useful for some writers looking for a faster, easier way to post to blogs. Though there are many other existing applications but the main complaint is that they don’t allow WYSIWYG editing. But Windows Live Writer allows such kind of editing where you see on screen exactly how the blog post will look. In addition to that it also supports native videos with a simple ‘insert video’ function and is now XHTML compliance.

    The task of maintaining blog and promoting it involves a consistent and even increasing workload. Plugins, automation tools can reduce the burden to a great extent. This is one such tool that can help bloggers to make the article publishing task lot more easier. Thanks for sharing. There are so many editors to choose from. It would have been much better had the author rated each of these tools based in the flexibility, ease of use, and usability factors. Perhaps, I will start with open source one. Thanks.

  4. That’s a great list you put together. I’ve tried a number of these and plan to download and try a few I haven’t. But I always go back to Windows Live Writer. I’m still getting used to the 2011 version but it’s the best I’ve found for new and experienced bloggers.

  5. Great list of editors thanks for helping us see some of the many choices out there. I really had no idea there were so many. I guess I’ve got my work cut out for me as I’ve not really settled on one yet. But I know after reading the information in your article that’s something that will soon change.
