Josh Ledgard's posted some good feedback on Visual Blogger 2004, a blogging tool put out by Robert McLaws and Interscape.

He mentioned having a local backup of your blog and a Blog This shortcut right in your context menu for any Windows app.  That would be powerful, just select some text and go.  I'd like the ability to setup different formats for that as well.  I could select some text, right-click, find Blog This and then expand the menu to different formats.  For example I would choose Quote, and it would insert it into my blog post with <DIV> tags wrapped around it specifying my quote css class.  That would be cool.

I'm happy to see that cross-posting is built in, but I won't be able to test Visual Blogger anymore until it supports dasBlog.

I want a new name though, in Josh's post he said “VB just neglected to select catagories.“.  I think the name will lead to confusion; VB already stands for something to a lot of people. I guess Naming is Hard.  Hmm, we can't use iBlog, maybe meBlog or something a little trendier /meBlog.
