Testing Blogo

For the last half hour or so I've been testing out Blogo, a desktop blogging editor for Mac OS X. I use ScribeFire these days in Firefox, and I love its simplicity, but it leaves a lot to be desired: you can't post-date blog posts, for example. Or rather, you can post-date them, and the date of the post (in TypePad, at least) will reflect the date you've given the post, but it won't delay the publication.

There's a lot to like about Blogo. It's simple. It has an attractive interface. I particularly like that you can break off into the extended area of a post simply by adding three hash tags to your post. But it doesn't do everything I need a blog editor to do, alas. To wit (unless I'm missing something):

• There's no way to add Technorati tags to a post.
  
• You can post-date a post but, as with ScribeFire, it will still post in TypePad right away.
  
• There's no way to access TypePad's excerpt field.
  
• There's no way to create stationery (except making a draft post and copying it, I suppose, but that's a little inconvenient).

You can post to Twitter from Blogo, too, which is neat. But while the posting panel is attractive, the window for reading Twitter posts on Blogo is pretty ugly.
