Darren, looks like you felt the need for another “Pillar Post”. It will be interesting to see just how many links and trackbacks to this post you get over the next couple of days.

Hi Darren:

[…] Darren’s got a great big list of professional blogging links over at Problogger today and instead of doing the work I should have been doing I spent some time checking out a few of the links, and discovered yet another blog posting tool, RocketPost for Anconia. It certainly looked interesting enough from their page to download the demo version, and I was looking forward to perhaps finding the next step up in blogging software from my current blogging tool of choice, Blogware. Sadly however, I was disappointed once again, because despite some fairly nice WYSIWIG features, they just don’t get the image handling right, for example I cant copy and paste an image into a post, and as much as I can drag and drop an image from a page to RocketPost, it doesn’t save it in the post, it just shows it from the original page, which as all bloggers know is a no-no. Oh well, back to BlogDesk. […]
