Trial post from Blog Desk

Hmm.. Blog Desk doesn’t have all the frills and thrills of Live Writer but somehow it makes me more comfortable. With in 2 minutes I was able to configure my Blog and I am already writing posts. Hmm.. neat. Pretty simple layout makes me focus more on writing than wandering around thinking what button would do what?

Let me try to insert an Image..

Hmm… Neat.. It showed me a window where I can edit most of the common photo related options, like I can Rotate, crop, shadow and lots of other option. It also suggested me that My image is too big for the blog and is good to be cropped. It also let me shrink the image to fit it into the blog. Wow.. I don’t have to touch Photoshop for a lot of things.. This theme uses Custom Fields to insert the thumbnail. Let me try doing that.. I found that in Extra>WordPress Options menu.

Hmm, I find a problem here.. Usually in WordPress I upload the thumbnail Image and then use that image url into the Custom Field with Thumbnail key to insert the post thumbnail. I guess now I have to upload the thumbnail Image manually. It would be good if they give me a screen where I can only upload images and get the url to those images. This would help solve the problem I am facing now. Well since this is a demo post where I am kind of reviewing the application as I am exploring.

There is one funny part in this software, actually it is not the fault with the software, but it seems spell check says “Blog” not found replace it with Log lol.. Well, as we all know there is no word in English Dictionary called as Blog. Actually Blog is derived from the words Web log. Anyways I just added it to the Dictionary.

What next.. I see the publish button.. Let me Go ahead and press it..

WOW, perfect.. These lines I am adding after posting it. It works cool.. BTW you can download BlogDesk and try it yourself. It works like charm for me. Matter of fact It makes me feel write more which would end up in longer posts.. Well that is good isn’t it. WordPress is not twitter .

Happy Blogging..
