Blog software

I think I have to admit defeat in a way. I was fully planning on making my own customized blog software with an offline editor.

Well, time is running out. I think I’ll have to punt and use something else.

The requirements I have for this software (client & server package)

• Offline editing capability
• Offline image handling with image management
  • Links pictures to the post they are associated with
• Attached content – like KMZ files or the like
• Customizable formatting

The real key requirement is offline handling. I plan on writing when I have a chance. When I have a chance and when I have Internet access are very likely going to be different times.

I’ve settled with a combination of the following:

• Microsoft Live Writer
• DotNetBlogEngine
• Hosted at GoDaddy

This has just about everything I want except the image handling. Oh well. I guess I’ll have to make due.

In any case, I’ll be posting images to Fotki when I get back home so people will be able to see full-res pictures. (This wouldn’t be different if I wrote my own)
