WordPress and My Blogging Productivity
After moving from Movable Type and WordPress, I feel that my blogging productivity is increasing. I mean, I have more posts this month. Yeah, probably it’s not about the engine. It’s probably about the spirit of blogging. But, for me… if I have to be honest, WordPress has its own role for me. How? Here are some factors:
- Writing an entry should be easy. The point is getting an entry composing screen. How fast you can reach that screen? The word “fast” here is always closely related to some factors like internet connection, document size, etc. I feel that WordPress is a lightweight application (compared to Movable Type, for example). So, I do not have to wait longer to start typing.
- Now, it’s time to write an entry. Using WordPress, I can do it easily. WordPress only offers two types of composing style (rich-editor and HTML mode). If I want to upload a picture, it’s not difficult at all. Well, I like the upload photo mechanism in the previous release. But, I am fine with the current schema.
- Entry formatting! I like when I can have a good and clean HTML tags in my entry. When I write an entry in both visual or simple mode, I can always have a good HTML outputs.
- I can use a desktop blogging tool. Rignt how, I use BlogDesk. And, related to the previous point. It just works. Period. When I insert a photo from my desktop publishing tool, it will be uploaded in the right place, without thinking whether it’s placed properly or not.
It has been a month. And, I feel comfortable.

I am using ScribeFire to update my blogs. This is a little Firefox plugin which ease my blogging life. By deploying this plugin as a publishing tool, I do not need to open any other desktop application. Give this plugin a try and I hope you’ll love it as I do.
