Hi Jon,

Something like the word add-on might come out of my efforts, but really
the whole point is to eliminate blogger. I already use blogger and
compose in word (using a little copynpaste). I don't want to write a
server app that replaces blogger, like greymatter. Eventually I want
this to grow into a tool to manage my whole site so it's more like a
content management app ala frontpage. The difference is that I don't
want wysiwyg page design, I just want wysiwyg in-line text editing (that
autocorrects!). I'm a writer.

http://ftrain.com is an inspiration. XML-izing my content opens up a lot
of options for presenting it to my readers.

After doing this for 5 years, I'm just tired of using other people's
products to build and manage my site. They always end up limiting me or
outright screwing me. If I have to wait for features or start over and
redesign my whole site, I'd rather it be because of something I did.
