Daniel Ho’s Musings

Well, I think I managed to upgrade Wordpress MANUALLY without breaking anything.

BUT, in the process, I also noticed that I’m not posting on my blog as much as anymore. The main reason is that I’m addicted to Twitter and Facebook.

I tend to use Facebook as my scrapbook and Twitter is where I hold my conversations.

Or tweet along with me here by clicking on the bird (definitely click on the profile to check out the BubbleTweet!):

Tweet soon!

While I’ve heard a lot about MarsEdit, I’ve only decided to try it now. Why? Research of course. I’m checking it out as an offline editor for a client.

So how does it test? Well, it is a cinch to setup. I just told it where to look for the blog, entered in my credentials, and it figured out that it was a Wordpress blog all by itself, pulled in my categories etc. etc. Excellent.

I just authorized it to get images from my Flickr to place into the post and bamo! This is good enough that I think I’m going to register the product after the 30-day free trial and keep using it myself!

Wow, what a list from Mashable! There are some tools that I’ve used and a lot that I didn’t even know about. Definitely worth a look.

This list is definitely worth a look.
