Having decided to contribute more here, I’m already thinking I need a better application to pump out posts than this TinyMCE hack that sits inside Wordpress. I know there are some desktop apps out there that can handle this via XML-RPC — I’ll have to carve out some time for some research…
In the meantime, I […]
