This is a test post using the open source blogging client, Open Live Writer. OLW is the so-called “spiritual reincarnation” of Microsoft-abandoned blogging client, Windows Live Writer.

Zoundry Raven is a desktop blog editor compatible with Blogger and other popular blogging platforms. It is an open source project and currently in Beta mode. I'm going to try this software to see if it can simplify and fast track my blogging activities. Some of the best features of Zoundry Raven include Tabbed Editor, multiple blog support, a simplified interface, and an option for portable blogging. The user interface looks and feels like any common word processor. This could be good for newbie bloggers. The advanced options, however, such as one-click re-publishing, video insert, and ping back tools make this software suitable for power bloggers. I will try to evaluate the performance of Zoundry Raven after I use it for a couple of weeks. For more details about this desktop blogging client, please visit the official website of Zoundry Raven .
