I just found this great new addon for FireFox called ScribeFire which allows you to publish directly to your blog from anywhere on the Web. When you install the extension, it will ask for your blog URL (for example, http://bklynite.com/mike) and it will attempt to automatically figure out what kind of blogging software you’re using. Then, once you enter your username and password, you’re ready to go! You don’t have to log into the editor anymore to post. No more copy and pasting dozens of links.

Wanna write about a page you’re currently on? Right click anywhere on the page and select ScribeFire > Blog this page. The editor will open up automatically with that link in the body of the post. Even better, you can automagically insert images from your PC, the web, YouTube videos, format text the way you like it, etc. You can even edit existing posts!

Another cool feature is that when you visit your own blog, the ScribeFire toolbar appears automatically at the top of the FireFox window (you can disable this if you find it intrusive) and you’ll see buttons which allow you to add images, videos, links, quotes, etc. to existing blog posts! You click the button (Add Link, for example), select the title of the blog post you want to insert the link into, and then enter the URL and highlight the text to link. It’s amazingly easy and makes editing and creating blog content so simple.

I think this might be the push I need to keep me blogging – I can instantly publish my thoughts rather than have to go through a 5 step process.

For any avid bloggers out there, check it out.
