I've had my own wordpress.org blog until that system went south. Then I moved over to wordpress.com. I would strongly recommend wordpress.com for a few reasons. I had almost 2 years of blogposts and they placed them into my account cheerfully. I could not do it myself due to me only keeping mysql backups. But you asked about blog clients. I've tried a few: performancing - this is a firefox addon which works very nicely here with wordpress.com. drivel - drivel is nice but I cannot seem to make it post with more than one category selected. jblogeditor - you need java installed but it works very nicely on wordpress blogs bleezer - you need java for this one too; but I really like it a lot. Its being actively developed so you may find things which work and others which don't; but its a pretty nice blog client all in all. blogtk - this one seems frozen in time at the 1.1 release or so. I gave up on it after a year of no updates. You may find that performancing works with the new blogger. It gets updated quite often; but if I had my choices, I'd change over to wordpress. At a purely personal level, we need to have better offline blog clients that compare with some of the windows ones like blogjet or wbloggar or ecto. Take care. -- Michael Perry | Do or do not.
