In the Windows platform, I like to use Windows Live Writer to write Blogger article. But in the Linux platform as Lubuntu, what is the windows live writer alternative?
I search this answer by Google and get the suggestion to choose Blogilo. Based on the Internet information, its feature is as WYSIWYG editor , allows saving posts as local, and publish content directly, etc. This function is enough for me to do a simple blogger so that I decide to try it.
After installing the Blogilo software by Lubuntu software center or apt-get command, we will launch this software for configuring the setting to suit Google Blogspot environment.
At first, we need to click Configure Blogilo... in the Settings menu.
and select Blogs next to click Add button
To add a Google Blogspot account to the Blogilo, we have to notice something.
In the Basic tab, the Blog/Homepage URL field will refer to the Browser URL as follows
, and Username/Password field will depend on the blogger registration.
In the Advanced tab, we need to choose Blogspot.com in the API field and write down some information as follows in the Blog ID field.
That is final configuration as follows
Once the above finish, please return to the Basic tab and assign a profile name in the Title field to complete the setup.
If the Google account and password is right, the Blogilo will fetch some blog posts so that we can see these post subjects on the right panel.
Now we can begin to write article into Google Blogsopt in the Lubuntu/Ubuntu environment.
Recently, I found there is a bug "it will crash when change the size of the image uploaded" in Lubuntu 14.04. I don't know what happen so that agree to send out the error report to Vendor.
Hope this problem is resolved quickly!
