I don't know why it
I don't know why it is that I got away from my blog, but I think it should get a little better now. Part of it is that I've changed my working environment. Whereas before I was always working from a linux shell and could use my "instablog" utility whenever I wanted, now I'm pretty much always working from OS X and Aqua. There's an Aqua app called "BlogApp" which supposedly lets me blog, but since I'm using blogger, it has not worked right once in the few sporadic times I've tried to use it. Finally I have a "Blog This" link that I've tried before, but at least while I was using Mozilla 1.0, the popup window would not let me fill more than a screenful. I'm testing the functionality out right now on 1.1 and it seems to be working okay, finally. So at least there's this.
What I really want is a decent OS X Aqua RSS aggregator, and there just doesn't seem to be one. There are several RSS readers, but not aggregators. I just want one that will let me easily subscribe to any RSS feed, and then do two things: blog certain articles/items to my blog, or redirect certain items into my own RSS feeds that I could then publish via my blog. And I could put my own authored items/articles in those feeds as well. That's all I really want. But I don't want it to be Radio Userland, because I like being able to blog (even edit old posts) from locations where my blogging software isn't installed. The server-hosted blogs like Blogger are what works for me.
