Dan Olsen’s Weblog

I was looking up some information on the Internet when I came across an ad that said “Get an Audioblog today”. The ad looked interesting so I decided to check it out. The service presented by the ad is for Audioblog.com.

Audioblog.com is a simple and feature-rich audio publishing service for your weblog or online journal.

Audioblog.com

Audioblog allows you to record an audio clip and post it to your blog. There are two different ways you can record a message. First, you can upload an MP3 file or a WAV file. Second, you can pick up the phone, record, and post. You can post your recordings to multiple blogs supported by multiple blogging software packages and there are few other features that you can check out on the features page.

I wish I had the money to give it a try. If anything, it just looks like a lot of fun. Being a poor college student, I don’t have the funds to sign up. If anyone is using the service leave a the link for your site, I’d like to see it in action.

I was introduced to NetNewsWire for Mac OS X and I have decided to use it for my feed reader at. As I was getting to know the application I found that it had a tool I could use to publish to my weblog. I’ve decided I love the idea of having a weblog editor integrated with the reader. Since I have the reader open all the time it makes it easy to just submit a new post without having to login to my account on the web.

Since I don’t have Mac OS X on my home computer I wanted to find a similar tool for Windows XP. It didn’t take too long before I came across Sauce Reader. I haven’t played around too much with it but I do like their weblog editor! As a matter of fact I am using the editor to post this entry. I came across another feed reader called SharpReader which allows you to install a plugin to allow you to edit weblogs. However, I could not get the plug in to work. So that makes Sauce Reader the winner so far.

Next I will need to find a similar reader for Linux. I’ll worry about that when school starts and I am logged into Linux more often.

If anyone knows of any other good reader/editors for weblogs please let me know, I’d like to check them out.
