So, I’m testing Drivel, a GTK blogging client. I’ve found a couple more to test and figure out which one works the best for me. They all seem to have Save Draft support, but one big problem I have with Drivel is that it doesn’t seem to have aspell support, and I can’t find what I have to fucking do to get spellcheck going. Update: I had to enable it in the preferences, and again on the View menu. Annoying, but it seems to work well.

Thus far it is the best of the bunch. It didn’t automatically choose the category tag that was first in alphabetical order. None of them have had a “Wordpress” option in their settings, and instead I have to specify my blog as Movable Type, and direct it to the xmlrpc.php manually. Very odd. Drivel also has a strangely erotic picture of a probably-too-young-for-me-to-be-thinking-about-erotically girl on the login screen.

The others I’ll be trying are Flock, BloGTK, the Gnome-Blog applet (just tried it, way too bare bones for me), and possibly one of the abandoned projects like jblogwriter. I doubt I have the stomach to play with the KDE-library based QTM.
