After a conspicuous lack of internet writing and so forth I may have found the tool to renable my web geek-dom. Currently I’m writing this using ScribeFire, a Mozilla add-on that looks like it will solve my Blogger woes. Since the Blogger interface is a complete pain in the ass for day to day writing, it utilization of its API by ScribeFire is outstanding.

After small amount of turmoil trying to understand how ScribeFire can write to a custom Blogger blog (i.e. one that’s not hosted on blogspot.com) I now have the 5 different front ends for my “web empire” loaded into ScribeFire. Once installed, choose Add under the Blogs tab, then click Manually Configure select Custom Blog from the drop-down and click Next. Now select Blogger from the new drop-down and put http://www.blogger.com/feeds/_xxxxxx_/posts/full replacing the _xxxxxx_ with your blogId from Blogger. Enter your Blogger user-name and password and Voila! your blog is set-up. (In order find your blogId log on to Blogger and select the blog you want to add. In the address bar of you browser you should see something like http://www2.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=123456789012345 ).
