Like a good sheep, I have followed the herd (BAAAAA) and am now signed up over at Dreamwidth. I'm pipsqueaky there too, big surprise

Supposedly XJournal works, and there is some development on an Dwdth-specific client (iDream).

The cross-poster functionality that is part of Dwdth is pretty great -- it automatically edits posts on multiple sites!

Thanks for letting me know about XJournal! I'll definitely take a look at it.

Yeah, I do like the ability to edit posts simultaneously - that's pretty awesome. I am just not a fan of the web posting interface in general, though. Mainly because (and boy is this a STUPID reason, but it does bug me) I am a slow writer and can take a while to compose a post, and by the time I'm done, the timestamp displayed on the web interface is no longer valid. So I always have to edit it manually right before posting. (See? Told you it was stupid, heh.)

I have never used a posting client. Dreamwidth has an auto-crosspost feature, so if you compose your post in their web interface it will automatically appear on your LJ. That's what I do.

Right, I've been using that for the last couple of posts I made. It's an okay solution for now; it's just that there are things about the web interface that I'm not fond of, so I'm hoping to eventually find a client to use. Thanks for the tip though!
