New palm blogging client: uBlog

by Steve

Quite a while ago I wrote about Palm blogging clients. At the time, I wasn’t really happy with any of them. They all had minor problems of one kind or another, or were missing features.

They still are, but there’s a new app out there that’s showing some promise: u*blog. It’s a Japanese import and the docs aren’t very complete, but the UI is fairly intuitive. There’s a nice programmable tag function, and it will even let you set the category and time stamp of a post before posting.

The downside? It doesn’t seem to work yet, at least on my new TX. I tried to use it to post something recently, and the publish command generated a reset. However, it was a pretty large post, and the software looks very promising. More to follow, if the developer responds to my email.

I tried U&Blog too, with the same result – it resets my TX every time. I’ve tried smaller posts, but the result is consistent. Shame really, because everything else about the program is neat. I see from the web page that the developer is off to college and will not have time to update it, so perhaps we’ll have to look elsewhere.

I have been using uBlog. It works with my Treo and blogger, but I don’t see the options mentioned on the help page for sending photos.

The text does show up, though.

Try to remove “BlogBuffer” DB from your TX using some file manager (I used ZLauncher’s file manager).
It is working on my TX.
