Product Description:

Posting to WebLogs can be very tiresome. You must launch you favorite browser, log into your account, select your blog, type the content into some cabalistic HTML UI and then pray to the Gods of Javascript that everything goes okay... it shoudn't be like that.

With BlogWorks you can relax. Just launch the application and fill out your details in the preference drawer (needed only once) and BlogWorks will be ready to post to your weblogs. Select the blog you want to use from the popup above the text input area, type in your message and press post... thats all, everytime you launch BlogWorks it will be just ready to post, no more tedious login procedures, just quick and easy like your toughts. The Interface fits nicely with other MacOS X apps, and it's pretty easy to use.

BlogWorks uses the Blogger API, which is a XML-RPC interface to blog systems. This means that any blog tool that uses this standard is made to work with BlogWorks. There are many choices: Blogger, b2, MovableType, Nucleus, BigBlogTool, BlogWorks XML, Blogalia and Drupal. BlogWorks put them all at your service.

After my original commentary regarding nagware (see below), I was promptly contacted by the developer. He was very responsive to my critique, and was quick to make changes based on my comments. Obviously a developer who cares about his product. I admire that.

As for usability of the product, I think it's the best stand alone solution available for Blogger. No other app has taken the time to implement the title field option, which is the biggest reason for not using any of them to me.

BlogWorkz is maturing nicely as the developer learns more. I'd like to eventually see the ability to edit previous posts and upload images. That'd make it the smoker of Blogger clients.

Oh, yeah... I'd REALLY like to be able to resize the window ;)

This is a fantastic piece of software. Well done! Blogging is so much fun with BlogWorkz, it´s amazing! Easy to use, quick, powerful and useful. I don´t think any serious bloggers out there should blog without BlogWorkz. I have just donated US$90 and I´ll donate more soon ! Congratulations to the developers and thank you for making my blogging experience so much better!
