If you are already blogging, chances are that you’re writing your posts by firing up your web browser, logging into your blog’s website and writing your posts directly into your Blogger, Wordpress, or Typepad. Did you know that you can manage your blog postings directly from your computer without logging into the website? They’re called “desktop blogging” software and you can use these programs to write new blog posts, edit old ones, and to even schedule future blog posts.

Smashing Magazine has just posted a review of 15 desktop blogging tools. You can read the full review here.

Since I’m a Mac person, the software I use to manage my blogs is Ecto. I’ve been using it for a couple years, so I easily got my $18 worth. I just love the fact that I can manage all of my blogs in one place. I even use Ecto to store unfinished posts or ideas for new posts. If you blog a lot or if you have more than one blog, you should consider checking out one of these tools.
