Erdos Had The Number First

I’m still searching for a good webclient for blogging. The interface that MT provides is really pretty bad. No spell check, no nothing. It’s ugly too.

But ugly isn’t really the point. I lost a post yesterday because of a misunderstanding of features of my current sometimes client w.bloggar. Lost the whole post. It was a good one too, full of euridite thoughts and feelings about stuff. Gone gone gone, now and I blame my client.

I think this is one of the problems that blogging has as a concept. You don’t need a client to write with (though you could argue that clients are analaous to pens or other writing instruments). You just write when you write. While when you blog you need a lot of infrastructure that does get in the way a bit.

I’m sure there are blog-by-email scripts out there, maybe I could find one. But that wouldn’t let me have control over when I post (not that I post that often, but I don’t always want the draft to be posted).

I’m rambling again.

The thing is, I would pay an amount of money (small though it would be) for a good blog client. That client would:

1) have a spell checker
2) SAVE posts periodically so that you can’t EVER loose a post
3) Have a usable interface
4) Have an easy method of inter-post linking (wiki-like really).

These four things and whatever features I’ve forgotten would be really, really good to have. Did I mention I’d pay?
