At the moment I’m using Adobe Contribute to write this blog post. It is a different way to write up a blog entry than using the wordpress backend.

I can see my blog entry how it would appear on my site, as I’m typing it. I can also go back an edit entries as well. The speed is fairly slow to be honest. It appears as if every character needs to get sent back to the server, so I can type a lot quicker than what the text appears on the screen. It hasn’t picked up on the categories features of wordpress correctly and it also appears as though I can’t add in tags easily.

It also doesn’t allows me to upload photos through iPhoto, and  would need to export the photo from iPhoto first before I could use it. This isn’t any different in how I would have to do it through the web browser, but considering that this is an application installed on my computer I would of expected it to have some advantage.

Well so far, I would rank Adobe Contribute about 1/10 and I would have no reason to use it in the future to write up a blog post on my site. (I’ll have to log in later to fix up the categories and tags)
