Top Blogger Apps
To start off, these applications for your computer are not essential, but they do increase your ease with blogging. Using good blogger apps you can increase your productivity. First up is…
Yes that’s right, I’m a big fan of Fir
efox since 2.0 and haven’t even thought of switching back to Internet Explorer. That being said; Firefox is limitlessly extendable, fast, and lightweight. If you’re still using any other browser (even Google Chrome), then switch to Firefox immediately, it’ll boost your productivity – I can guarantee you that.
There are also countless plugins available, check this post on the 25 must have plugins for bloggers.
2. MemoKeys
I’ve discovered a nice Tool that will help you saving time by saving common used text in a specified keynumber(for example F1 to F12). Just save the text you want in one of those
F keys and press it somewhere in word or msn and it will paste the text immediatly into the window.

Not as highly needed for just the Word, since you can use notepad which is already giving in Windows itself. It is handy for making PowerPoint Presentations and Excel sheets. I also have it for Outlook since it can handle multiple mail adresses.
If you don’t have the money to buy it, then I recommend the OpenOffice, which is free and some say just as powerfull.
4. WordWeb
Misspelling much in English? Try out WordWeb.
It is a powerfull English Dictionary tool with about 150,000 words in its database, although it also allows you to look into online sites such as Wikipedia. WordWeb’s a feature rich dictionary & thesaurus tool and a must have for bloggers who write their own content.
5. Digsby
Digsby is an all-in-one IM/social networking client. It supports most of the IM protocols out there, like Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ, and AIM. It even supports Facebook chat! It features tabbed conversation window, allows you to manage your email, and stay up-to-date with everything that’s happening on your Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and LinkedIn accounts. As its makers say: Digsby = IM + Email + Social Networking.
What Do You Use?
I’m sure that I’m just covering the most important ones here, but I’d love to hear from other PC using bloggers – what applications are you using?

I think you forgot about windows live writer http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/ It is a free software to post articles to almost all blogging platform Blogger,Word press,Movable type and so on.I personally use it and recommend it to every one. Any ways you have got a nice list .
Thanks for the tip. Trying it out right now. Ough, 50 mb kinda big for my eee pc. Found this great list about good tools you can use together with your blog. Installing the firefox addon.
Hey Achute, thanks for the reply – It seems I missed out on that one.
I think it’s a great addition to the list, and especially about the fact that it has support for WP, spell checking and manage videos on youtube.
I, personally, wouldn’t recommend digsby. I found it to be one of the most annoying clients every. I would suggest Trillian or Pidgin. Both support a multitude of protocols and a lot of features. However, if you need things like video, go with Trillian Pro, as it is the only one of the 2 which support video. But it also comes with themes and loads of plugins. It’s like the Firefox of the IM client world.
If making money from Adsense didn’t work anymore then a very large portion of my monthly income would be gone! And not only that, but several full-time online marketers would have needed to find a new way to make money online.
The biggest advantage for webmasters using ready-made templates is the amount of time that can be saved. There are a number of websites that provide ready-made HTML templates.
