This is the greatest thing in the history of mankind! Ok, not really, but it is definitely cool. Or, um, cool for people who are interested in this kind of stuff. Apple amazes me yet again, this time with the built-in program Dashboard. I emailed David Benesch about getting a widget that would allow me to simply add content to a blogger web log, and low and behold, one exists! This sure makes it easier to post stuff.
As you can see below, I'm an infrequent poster to my own blog - for any number of reasons. However, I think the main reason is that the blogger interface sucks. There are too many steps, and it's slow in actually publishing material to the site. Using this Dashboard widget allows me to forego going onto the blogger site and just click "post" to get stuff online. SOOOOOOOOOOOO much easier.
Now this'll put a little more pressure on me to actually post more frequently, but I've got plenty of stuff going on that should be of interest - wedding, Julie, house, cat, job, numismatics.
What I need to figure out now is how easy it is to post pictures using the Dashboard interface. If that's as easy as posting text, then I'll be in good shape.

One more test before I'm done!
Well, wanted to try this once more, basically to show off to my dad who is standing next to me that Dashboard is a great tool.
Let's try this widget!
This is a test of the blogger widget that I've added to Dashboard on OSX Tiger.... hopefully it works and I set it up right!
