I’ve finally found something in my quest to learn blogging that wasn’t a complete and utter frustration. After wasting nearly an hour trying to configure the Blogjet blog editor I downloaded Qumana and it was the most simple piece of software to install that I’ve ever used.
Blogjet was a royal pain because I couldn’t configure my blog to ftp through it. No matter what I did I got a “could not connect error” and finally gave up and uninstalled the darn thing before I pulled the rest of the hair out of my bald head.
I’m sick of finding things related to blogging that don’t work. If it isn’t easy and doesn’t work the first time, I’m just not going to waste time with it. I downloaded Qumana and installed it and it worked beautifully the first time. All you have to do to configure it is put in the url of your blog and then put in your user name and password and it automagically detects all your settings, even the correct folder location for your images.
I don’t really like the very large icon it puts on the top of your desktop though. That’s a bit dorky. However, it works for what I need it to do.
Blogjet is out, Qumana is in.

Thanks for trying it out, and we hope that it will grow on you.
BTW, the “large icon thingy” is actuallly a productive piece of the app (it used to be that in the Windows version this thingy would become transparent after several seconds. to become non-intrusive). It is the Qumana DropPad, and you can grab pieces of text, URL’s, links, images, etc. and drop them on to it … as an aid to your *workflow* .. then when you double-click on the thingy, Qumana opens up with the content you have grabbed in it, ready to work on editing.

Jon,
Looks like the “large icon thingy” will be a useful tool.
I can’t figure out how to update a already published post. I downloaded v3 beta and the instructions for updating a post must be for v2. When I refresh the posts I lose all the formatting in them?

Hi Alan,
Perhaps I can assist you on that. If you want to email me I’ll try to figure out what’s going on - given that you’re in WordPress it’s not normal for formatting to be lost. More details could help us figure it out.
