Thingamablog

OS: Win 98/NT/Me/2000/XP, Mac OS X, Linux Status: Freeware Version: 1.05 File Size: 3.5 MB Date: 02-15-2005

Thingamablog is a cross-platform, standalone desktop blogging application. The operative word here is “standalone,” meaning you don’t need to bother with configuring cgi/php/mySQL. The only requirement to setup, and manage, a professional looking, flexible blog is FTP, SFTP, or network access to your webserver. The main idea behind Thingamablog is ease of use. Blogging applications should be easy enough for the non-techy, yet robust enough for most users’ needs. Rather then spending time worrying about what services your webserver supports, or editing complicated server-side scripts, you can set up a fully functional weblog in minutes with Thingamablog. Thingamablog requires Java 1.4 or higher to run.

Blog

OS: Windows Status: Freeware Version: 6.1 File Size: 1.81 MB Date: 11-16-2003

Blog is an automatic web logging program which allows you to update your site easily without the hassles of HTML editing and having to use a separate program to upload your work. You simply set Blog up with the necessary information for logging into your site via FTP, define a template to specify the look for your page and then type in your entries in the main Blog window and click Publish and Blog does the rest! Blog also handles the task of generating archival entries for older posts. It is a really convenient way to keep a site (or multiple sites) updated without going through several programs to do the job.
Blog can be operated in three different modes - a) Standalone - which allows a single person to maintain their own site(s) from their desktop machine b) Server - which allows collaboration between several people or for the same person to post from multiple locations using the third mode of Blog which is ... c) Client. The Client and Server modes might be a bit confusing to set up but do refer to the included Blog.txt file which is present in all distributions of Blog to get some hints as to what you need to do.
