I was recently in conversation with Ellee Seymour who is very keen on a Microsoft tool for blogging which makes her life easier.

I’m currently running Ubuntu Linux and came across an alternative: Performancing for Firefox. It is installed as a Firefox extension and creates some new context items when you right click on a page. The main item is to allow you to blog a page.

First time in, you have to put in your details for XML-RPC blogging. XML-RPC blogging allows you to blog to a blog platform without using a screen - you can send the request from another program. Setting up is dependant upon the system you are using, so this is the most complex part. Once done, you can then simply right click on a page, and the Performancing blog screen pops up with the URL already written into the page. You put your entry in and it writes the entry to your blog.
