Blogger and Qumana--one nit
CROSSPOSTED FROM IMAGESPACE--ARTS AND WEB 2.0
This isn't a flaw in Qumana. It isn't a flaw with Blogger either. When I post to my Drupal site, the process is seamless. I type in the Qumana screen, edit, spell check, link, embed. The process is slick and quick. In many ways it is a better experience than typing into the blog itself. This morning, when I connected via DUN, and posted my previous entry it was lightning fast even on the Treo 650. In other words, I think that Qumana will ultimately make me more efficient. I may well load it onto my iMac at home as well as the portable I carry for work.
So where is the nit? With Blogger, they have a spam blog detector. That is to say, if an application tries to interface with it to post something, it automatically sets it to draft. A window, bigger than the 15" on this MacBook Pro, pops up announcing that there was an error and you need to manually post your entry. It also gives a link to have your blog reviewed by a human being to remove the block.
I laud Blogger for helping control spam. I also know that this is a minor irritation. I hope that Blogger finishes reviewing my site soon.
