I discovered one more tool today, Zoundry Raven, which is an updated version of some desktop blogging software that’s been around for some time. I thought I’d put it through its paces by making this post,m so we’ll see how well it works.

The initial configuration wizard was quite simple. It seems to have good tools for placing, aligning and giving border to images, which I think is quite important. The posting interface is very straightforward. There are one or two buttons which do things I haven’t learned yet, but I don’t imagine that will be a problem. Lots of people complain about the lack of support for this sort of software, but I think you have to accept that (especially if it’s free) and not be afraid to play around with it. If it doesn’t do what you need you can soon scrap it and use a different one.

One feature I like is that it downloaded both the main page of the blog and any subsidiary pages, and enables you to post to any page you choose.
