Running Zoundry and BlogJet blog editors under Wine
2007-11-18 13:36:00
Hi all !After I've written the Linux Sucks article, I started to think how can I still run any of the "good" (read Windows based) editors on Linux. And to tell you the truth, I've tried to run each and every one of those I found on different lists under WINE but to no avail.But no more. I've successfully installed and can run in Zoundry Blog Editor, from which I post this entry.Here's an install procedure (I use Gentoo , so I presume anyone who doesn't can adapt this to his/her own needs):Install IES4Linux on my machine (it installs WINE as well, so I don't have to).Run an Internet Explorer and try to browse.

2007-11-16 19:52:00
I want to tell you a story of a blogger who uses Linux as his main (and quite the only) operating system.I started "blogging" about 2 years ago. I started using a Blogger as my platform, and I wasn't a massive writer - just a couple of articles here and there. But for the last year it happened that I manage more than one blog, and I do keep notes with me all the time and I write much more. Offline blogging became more important to me. As I know that "blogging" is widely used in Open Source community I recently started looking for a blog editor that would allow me to keep my notes offline (meaning without publishing) and post them when I'm ready.As to my greatest surprise I haven't found even one that would be on par with my expectations (on that - later on).Next, I realized that I'm not all that comfortable with web-based editors. Yes, they are almost the best editors there are (each one for its corresponding platform), but I would like better the normal editor, that I would wri...
