Scribefire has been on my radar for years as a tool for authoring blog posts. I tried it once, but never really got the hang of things. Recently they put out a rewrite that works with Safari and Google Chrome (a browser I am using for the first time this month). What the browser extension does is give you a consistent interface for blogging across all your blogs. Now that I am doing some guest blogging for clients, as well as running three of my own, giving it another shot seemed like a no-brainer.
We’ve been using WordPress since before it was named (seriously) for our own sites and our client sites as well. In fact, this site is driven behind the scenes by WordPress. The next release of WordPress has been in the works for about a year and includes some pretty serious changes that we are just thrilled about.
Perhaps what has the most potential for disruption in the small-footprint CMS arena are the Custom Post Types, which are going to allow almost any kind of content to be managed in administration forms that match the way people think about what they publish. We are currently in development with a client who is needing custom Event Pages, so we’ll probably work with Custom Post Types to make that happen for them.
