Blogging. What a phenomenon. Not in the way that you think I mean either. Yeah sure it is amazing that suddenly everyone can write anything that anyone else can read instantly. That is cool. But I really for this post want to focus on the hug number of methods there are by which I can blog. It is tricky to chose between them. I can blog from my Flickr account. Which is good for doing images that I am hosting myself, as their is no bandwidth worries with it. I can blog from Digg. Which is good if the story from Digg sparks the post. I can blog direct using the software that powers the blog by logging into my server. It is a nice way of doing it. You get all the options, and can modify the theme while you are there. I do this sometimes. Mainly however, I blog with Performancing.

Performancing is an extension for Firefox that allows any user to easily blog to any blog from any site at all. That is because it is built in to the browser. You simply hit F8, and there you go. Get blogging. It is a good system. And the latest version is much improved so you can post straight to your del.icio.us bookmarks as well as blogging. It is also integrated with technorati. Although I don’t tend to use this service. I notice that it also works well with the categories that come with WordPress blogs like mine. Excellent.
