Just discovered this today here (see entry #8 on the list).

In my case I wanted to use it to place a small icon on my Desktop in Ubuntu Jaunty on my EeePC 901, and use this to update my Linux & Stuff blog. This would save me the bother of having to open the blog, click New Post and all the rest of it.

Essentially, this is a test to see just how much more convenient it is and whether there might in fact be some hidden problems.

The first step is to install Gnome-blog from Synaptic. Then, I dragged the icon from Applications>>Blog Entry Poster to my AWN dock. Now the “open book” icon sits in my dock.

One problem, however, is that Gnome-blog doesn’t support wordpress.com blogs. However, this post shows how to get over this problem.

So, if you’re reading this in Linux & Stuff, you know this has worked.
