Performancing for Firefox Blogger Beta support

Yes. This happened. Now Performancing for Firefox 1.3 works with Blogger Beta accounts. There's a small problem with categories, but it's not critical. Cheers.

Searching for a blogging client

I continue searching for some functioning offline blog editor and have discovered promising Bleezer but haven’t be able to make it connect to Blogger Beta account.

It seems strange, that the creators of blogging clients are so inert that until now most of their software has problems with Blogger Beta accounts. But I’ve read one post and have seen the other side. So the reason of this odd situation is in a poor state of blogging services APIs. It sounds quite realistic.

And here is a list of popular blogging clients and some explanations why no one client can upload images to Blogger.

AJAX is great but…

I know the advantages of using AJAX and admit that it’s a very useful feature, but two things about it bother me.

1. My favorite browser is unfortunately Opera 7.56u. Well, it can’t handle AJAX at all. So to use blogger.com, worth1000.com, plime.com, mail.google.com I need to change browser. I use Firefox. And you know this changing is quite annoying.

You may say that solution is easy, I should use only Firefox. I’ll answer that my old Opera is much more convenient. But I’m trying to migrate now.

2. This point is global. Most of AJAX applications use animated GIFs or flash to show loading process. AJAX is still quite unstable technology, a lot of programmers just learn how to use it and very often something goes wrong and this animation continues infinitely. I hope the solution will be found, but now progress indicators don.t depend on real process, so it’s unpleasant.
