Blog Tools
Do you Want to Improve Your Blog? Subscribe to ProBlogger Today for Free.
A couple of months ago I asked readers to share which blog tools they use the most in some of the following areas. The suggestions were a nice start but I’d like to see the list expand as I’m certain there are more blog tools and services out there.
Please note that I’ve decided not to add ‘hosting packages’ to this list and am attempting to keep it to products that directly help bloggers blogs improve rather than more general organizational/business products. Lastly I’m not including actual blogging platforms - if you’re interested in these and how to choose between them you might like my Choosing a Blog Platform post.
Here’s the list of suggestions so far - what would you add to it?

I think also, for designing logos for sites (for us froogle bloggers) Picasa and MyImager.com are what I use for my sites.

Hmmmm..I would say bout’ Qumana, it is an easy, powerful blogging editor to post to one or more blogs.
Qumana combines a powerfully simple interface, as easy to use as email, with features that make your posts look better, get more traffic, and make you money. Features such as easy image insertion, simple Technorati tagging, and advertising insertion.

Excuse my ignorance, but is there any point to using a blog editor other than for people who don’t know the simplest HTML tags?
I’ve been editing in MSWord for the spell checking functionality, then a copy-paste into my blog. It seems pretty simple to me.
Am I missing something?

Hi John,
Your ignorance is excused (at least, by me). :)
It’s not about someone needing to learn the “simplest HTML tags” - it’s about management of time. Some people do like to use a desktop blog editor for efficiency and productivity.
If you have a number of blogs, you’ll need to log in to each one individually to publish your entry which can take a while. Even when using Firefox and tabs…
Using a blog editor puts all of your blogs at your finger tips with just a few clicks and you don’t even need to open your browser if you don’t want to.
Certainly not everyone needs a desktop blog editor, but I believe avid bloggers and those with many weblogs to manage can find one beneficial.

http://www.indiekarma.com is a tool that allows end users an easy way to support blog content by paying a penny each time they visit. It’s sort of a voluntary financial support support system for independent web content. It’s just launched.
Full disclosure - I work on the application. Looks like this is the appropriate place to mention the application though..

Since so many blog URLs tend to be LOOOOOOOOOOONG, especially when the URL incorporates the full title of the post, it is very handy to let people know about the TinyURL.com service which can transform long URLs into tiny ones. I have many people I email with who are technologically not very savvy (my mother, for one!), and they don’t know what to do with long URLs that get broken in the email. TinyURL.com takes care of that!
I have a post about it here: About TinyURL.
The URL for the post would be like this:

rssfwd.com does a good rss email subscription service. It’s sort of simplistic though; as publisher you don’t have any control over the service, and the only subscriber info you get is the number of subscribers you have (you can’t see their email addresses, for instance)
But it captures rss posts quite nicely, and also quite timely - the site says it polls your rss feed every couple of hours. There’s a small footer at the bottom of the emails, but that’s just to hawk the rssfwd service.
Probably more suited for publishers who publish less than two or three posts a day.

snapshot.jkn.com is a new tool that you can use to capture any web page as is today and link to it from your blog. It is like tinyurl.com except that the entire web page is captured and dsiplayed online, so it doesn;t matter if the web page changes.
This is ideal for bloggers that want to comment and critique other web sites and blogs.
If you link to another site without snapshot.jkn.com and the site changes, you will waste time trying to reconstruct the original web page and your credibility may be questioned.

Take a look at snapshot.jkn.com. With this, bloggers can save pages and then refer to them within their blog. The pages are frozen and saved on the jkn.com server. Saving pages yourseld on your own local workstation usually doesn’t work well, and when a blogger refers to a page on the source site, it’s eventually removed or even changed. This service from jkn.com eliminates that problem.

Making Blogging Easy - Flee the Cube
December 8th, 2006 5:45 am
[…] But there are some great perks and time-savers to blogging with Ecto. It’s nice not to have to wait for page load times, for one thing. For another, the way linking works in Ecto is smarter than in Wordpress, when I copy a link, it’s automatically pasted into the dialog box in Ecto. Also, it includes a number of useful tools (which I don’t use yet) to integrate your blog with iPhoto, iTunes, and even you Amazon Associates account. That could easily add up to dollars given the right traffic numbers. What are you experiences with blog editors? Do you use one? Do you have a super time-saving tip for the rest of us? I’d love to know. For more information, you can check out Darren’s post on Blog Tools. […]

What I’m looking for is an email and website keychain. I have about 50 email addresses that I blog on about 400 different forums. I would love a program that allows me to just click on my email or the list of forums and BooM, up pops the page with my username and password already entered so I can start blogging. I hate having to click the link to go to the site, trying to remember what username and password I need to use today(rotate on a 12 schedule) I would also like it to recommend blogs and forums that are climbing the rankings, so that I might start blogging there. My boss demands that I get in about 50 new posts an hour with links and photos and this must be on at least 10 different forums/blogs 7 Days a week, I love doing this but I just need some better tools!!!! I need the swiss army knife of blogging/posting tools and I just haven’t found anything close.

The coolest way to display your amazon wishlist on your blog: http://www.JunkIWant.com
You do not even need to register, Just type in your Amzon email or wishlist ID, customize the look and feel, then copy and paste. Very Easy.

This is kind of a weird one, it tells you how relevant your page is to other blogs in the network. Downside is you need to add a widget to you rpage. Upside is its super easy to integrate and links directly to other relevant blogs without jumping througha middle man page. No registration required.

Roboform http://www.roboform.com for saving and filling in login details is a real timesaver when visiting social networking and bookmarking sites, filling in your details when making comments and logging in to other sites I use for blogging.
MWSnap http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html is the easiest and quickest free tool I have used for capturing sections of web sites - eg to include an image or logo from a site you are linking to in an post

Addendum to my comment on Roboform - ensure it fills in your actual name and not your blog site name on comment forms. Sorry about that.

Hello. Is there an opiton for bloggers, if we post one blog on our website, can we, at the same time, send that same blog to each social network we are created with such as myspace, facebook, etc? That way we don’t have to sign into each different account? Thanks!!

Great List, thanks! I am wondering if anyone knows how to add digg and similar services to your blog on blog.com. I am on the free blog plan hence i cant code the template and there is no function to add any script to the dashboard… Thankful for any tips!

I recently have been presented to an interesting new concept (at least for me). I am testing their services and possibilities in the last few days and they have overpassed my expectations. I encourage you to test it too and pass the word ahead, so we can help anyone who might need this kind of tecnology.
I could talk a lot about it, but none can say it better than themselves:
ReadTheWords.com began as a simple concept in January 2008: To assist students with learning disabilities with their studies, by means of auditory learning and auditory processing.
To that end we seeked out programers, technologies, and research departments from around the world and came up with a very basic platform, far less sophisticated than what you currently see on our website. Although we had originally intended this site to be used for auditory learning, through our researching efforts we found that the demand for this technology reaches far beyond our originally intended audience. Many other students, young professionals, actors and actresses, research departments, bloggers, ecommerce sites, and others, expressed how this technology could help them with their daily lives, and their businesses.
For this reason, we went back to the drawing board and added more features to meet more users’ needs. ReadTheWords created multiple input methods for users to create readings. We also greatly expanded our efforts to allow users take full advantage of the created readings as mp3’s. In particular, we found that Bloggers are constantly looking for ways to reach a larger audience and we, in turn, have found a way to meet this need by enabling them to create podcasts and share them with their readers. We also created a platform for bloggers and website operators to paste an audio toolbar in their website or blog, making it possible for any reader to become a listener. The feedback has been overwhelming and we continue to add new features and users to our site each day.
So, all this may lead you to wonder about the full extent of the possibilities that this technology presents. The answer is truly limitless. We encourage you to try our free service and let us know how you’ve been able to use it to your meet your own needs.
I invite you all to test it for yourself, just register at http://www.readthewords.com/default.aspx and tell us what you think about it.
Have fun!!!!

Hi,
I have been using http://www.xhibi.com extensively lately, and I found that it is a great way to enhance my blog. I simply uploaded some pictures of my house and entered some basic information, and suddenly I had a personal widget for my blog! (and to have my house rated adds to the flavor :) )

I’ve been working on a tool called the Thread Buddy, it’s an ajaxy commenting/discussion tool which is really a sort of combination between threaded discussions and comments to be added to any blog site. It’s got peer presence, aliases and both plaintext and rss comment listing, which makes it search engine friendly.

View the help to see how to integrate the tool into a website using an iframe.
