Ever come across something of interest that you feel is worth blogging, but have to ask “do I really want to go log in and get this posted up?”

I certainly have. In fact, it happened today. I came across a post about Matt Cutts and his comments on subdomains vs. subdirectories that I knew would be a great post over at Search Engine Tattler, but at the time didn’t want to jump in to my admin panel and write the post.

It was at this point that I remembered a Firefox addon I used to use, but for some reason stopped using when I switched from Windows to Linux Ubuntu. The plugin is called ScribeFire, and it’s a MUST have for those of us who post across a plethora of blogs.

The plugin creates an icon in the lower right side of your Firefox browser. When you lick on the icon, it opens up a “post window” where you can post to any blog you maintain. Once you create an account and give Scribefire your login details, the script pulls all of your blog data into the Firefox window. You have your pages, your recent posts, your categories, etc.

You can also add tags, and the editor allows for easy access to basic functions such as links, bold, image, etc.

When you hit publish the script automatically uploads everything to your blog. Basically, you can blog from any webpage you visit!

I haven’t tried ScribeFire with blogger, typepad, or wordpress.com, but it works like a charm on all of my hosted Wordpress blogs. If you need the ability to QUICKLY blog from any page you’re viewing, this is an excellent solution and it might be just what the e-doctor ordered.
