This has been linked to all over the place, but I’ll mention it today since it just got an update – performancing is a firefox extension that adds a featureful blog authoring tool to the browser. I have been using Ecto for a couple of years but its sorry windows version coupled with the fact that I use so many different computers makes performancing a pretty viable replacement for it, giving me a consistent authoring environment no matter what machine I’m sitting in front of. This is also potentially a useful tool in a campus environment. As usual, free, open source etc etc.
