I'm testing another blogging tool developed by Brainjuice, LLC, called "Blogo." The thing I noticed right away was its support for Movable Type's (MT) tags. I don't know the reasoning behind it, but MT has a "Tags" section and "Keywords" section - which are pretty much the same. The only difference is how the words are separated, i.e. commas or spaces. Anyway, this software is the first one I've played with that supports MT's "Tags" feature.

**UPDATE**
I doesn't support tags, and separates keywords with commas. However, there is a preference setting to allow spaces. Unfortunately all of the keywords show up as one big keyword oval on new posts.
Another bug: clear style attribute. I'm using a MT 4 dynamic blog, and the 2 style clear entries jacked up the Smarty rendering; you have to manually log in to MT and remove the style tags in the entry to fix.

I think the program is looks nice, probably one of the easier ones to use, compared to MarsEdit, ecto, and MacJournal. I haven't tested it with Blogger, Wordpress, or Twitter yet, but I would hold off on using it with Movable Type blogs.

One thing I'd like to see in blogging software is XHTML Strict support.

I don't know if it's a problem with the graphics engine, Automator, or what, but when I move the Automator window off screen a little bit the top Automator entry gets selected and becomes a ghost selection while original remains. You can watch the video here.

This originally was a tune I came up with years ago.  This rough recording is me adding a second guitar and a bridge to the original.  Kate prompted me to record it after hearing the bridge, and I came up with the second part while listening to the first cut.

I was hesitant to record this.  With encouragement from Kate, I decided to stop being a baby and make a rough recording using GarageBand on my MacBook Pro.
