New Firefox Blogging Tool

New Blog support company Performancing has created an extension for the Firefox browser for creating blog posts for WordPress, Moveable Type, Typepad, LiveJournal and Blogger. The tool provides split screen WYSIWYG editor that allows you to cut and past from other sites while within the browser. Other tools include a spell checker and user interface for adding hyperlinks and text formatting. And just to prove it worked, I created this entry with it!

Performancing provides tools and tips for "professional" bloggers and was founded by Threadwatch.org creator Nick Wilson. Now marketers who aren't blogging have even less of an excuse for not supporting their services with up-to-date content. Blogging will have "arrive" when marketing firms start offering blog training services to teach companies the dos and don't of blogging.

I'm sure the folks at Microsoft are watching this carefully as they plan to roll out the RSS reader function in IE7. It wouldn't be surprising if blog creation tools are so included.
