RSS Readers and Weblog Posting

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.
