So here’s the list of publishers in English from Wikipedia. I’ll be going through this list looking for useful blogs, which of course would be self promotional, but hey, not like I’m not gonna link to a bunch of authors’ blogs anyway.

OK Wait a Minute

Don’t want the “Powered by ScribeFire” on each of my freakin posts! Ahhh, much better.

Still, Enoc you need to check out ScribeFire … nice little quick blogging panel in lower half of Firefox browse window so you can still navigate around in the top half and find books, links, copy/paste etc.

This is what I’m talking about! Don’t I look much happier?

Testing, testin….

So I wasn’t happy with the first theme we tried, it squashed up against the left side of the screen when the window isn’t maximized. Crap, cause I liked the general layout for the most part. Oh well, will find another one and move on.

But now I’ve found ScribeFire for FireFox! Yeah, nice little Add-On that lets me blog to my WordPress and Blogger accounts. Sweet!

WordPress nice and easy, haven’t attempted blogger yet.
