[bloggage] A Test With Qumana

1687.

For a great long time now I’ve used Qumana for posting to my Blogspot blog. I got addicted to using post editors after my opening experiments with Adobe Contribute to maintain zehnkatzen.blogspot.com; the relationship started off fine but deteriorated after I started experiencing problems editing posts; it seems that Contribute can’t edit old posts if you’ve redirected your Feedburner feed, which is what I did. And not having a redirected Feedburner feed was a dealbreaker, and as big a fan of Adobe as I am, I was very disappointed that Adobe doesn’t seem to have solving this problem as a priority … because, with its WYSIWYG interface, Contribute CS3 hits it out of the park, as I’ve become overly fond of saying.

After evaluating Bleezer (interesting but the Java implementation is undependable for me and tends to freeze), I tried Qumana. After finding that 3.0 wouldn’t play well with Blogger, the creators invited me to download a beta of the next point version, which is what I’m using now.

And it’s, in the main, very good. The only thing I’d change with Qumana is getting it to recognize Blogger labels in the categories pane. That’s why I’ve not been labelling things for a while; you make a simple thing have too many steps and it just isn’t worth the trouble.

But since migrating my content over to this mirror-blog site, WordPress.com has been seducing me, oh yes. A ton of features. And categories populate the categories pane. Qumana knows and loves the WordPress API, quite obviously.

The flirtation continues
