Best Blogging editor for ubuntu

3 Best blogging editor for ubuntu/linux:

 

Writing a blog in the dashboard all the time is very ineffective, since repeating the process to login/new post then writting etc. so it is always recommended to keep some desktop blogging editor installed to write the draft contents. Once the full content ready then either you can directly publish from the desktop blogging editor software or copy-paste in the dashboard new post. Which will help you to write your blogs effectively.

 

I could find a lot of desktop blogging software for windows and mac users shared online, but could find only very few post/software for Linux/Ubuntu bloggers. so I am writing here to help Ubuntu and Linux users for desktop blogging software’s.

My View:
When I started using this to blog with wordpress, I could not find many basic options like list/font size adjustments,formatings etc.
It is a very basic desktop blogging editor software and size is very small that is just around 1MB, so try it, if blogging software is enough like notepad.

My View:
After I install this using ubuntu software center, I could not find it in my system, they mentioned in the site like I have to run wp-setup first, I felt like it is a long time setup process, so I quit trying it further. If someone tried it and feel it is good fit for bloggers/wordpress bloggers, please share the comment/how to setup it to help someone.
