One of the major road blocks that stops me from blogging more regularly is the effort that goes into finding my password, logging in to the blog, creating a new article and getting it ready for publication.

If you share my frustration at how long that process can take, then I have a surprise for you! There is a great, fast and free browser plugin called ScribeFire. It has been around for quite some time as a FireFox plugin. Now it is also available in Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari browsers. As it happens, I’ve just installed it in Chrome and it is helping me compose this blog posting right now.

From the ScribeFire for Chrome page:

One of the most popular add-ons for Firefox is now available for Chrome! ScribeFire is a full-featured blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to all of your blogs.
You can post to blogs from WordPress, Blogger, TypePad, Windows Live Spaces, Tumblr, Posterous, Xanga, LiveJournal, or any other blog that supports the MetaWeblog or MovableType APIs.

Go for it!

UPDATE: This post was initially very messy – somehow ScribeFire (which I have found very reliable in the past) posted not just the plain text, but huge chunks of excess formatting in the HTML. That made me sad. Will have to investigate the cause…
