VisualBlogger 2004 beta 2.
*WHOOPS! apparently I was submit click happy this morning. Just call me Too Much Coffee Man!*
A much improved version over the last one. I have a few things that come to mind just from the intial setup.
- The toolbar buttons for inputting text should work both in Design and HTML views of the post.
- Configuring a blog is still a cumbersome process. I know in the User Guide it say that it will be improved but it's still a bit hairy.
- Along with that I think if your going to require me to have both a Title and an Alias for a blog that I should be told so in the application.I couldn't figure out why the titles for my blog wasn't coming up in the Post Options tab until I re-read the 4 line blurb on Alias'. This maybe great for people with 10 blogs but I only have 2 and I don't mind the Title OR the Alias showing up in the PO tab but not just one, especially one that I'm not told is required. I'm also able to save a blog with neither Title or Alias.
- Changing the names of the providers is a must and this maybe the case when you guys goto the specific provider model.
- The Feedback form is broken for me. I've already emailed the support with the error that I'm getting.
All in All it's shaping up to be a very good product. With some more cleanup of the UI, I may switch from wBloggar. The point that I'm trying to make, I guess is that with wBloggar lack of technical prowess ( i.e. no HTML view, etc. etc. ) it's a very simple application to use. I can configure my blog in under 1 min and I'm out writing an entry super fast.
Congrats to Robert and his team, this is really looking good.
