And yet another reason not to log on inside Movable Type.
Just testing the Qumana Editor software, which can post directly to your blog via your desktop - all you need is an internet connection and away you go.
First problem I can see so far, but that's mainly due to me not reading through the manual yet, is the ability to set a difference between intro text and the read more stuff.
EDIT: and another nice thing, apart from a spell check, and the fact that it is free, is being able to download a post and edit it. another downside, is that it doesn't trigger the Publicity/Remote Interfaces part of MT on a new entry. So I would have to manually trigger the fact that I have added a new post, which also means losing out on letting Sixapart I have added new content as well.

Another edit - this time inside MT.
Not too impressed behind the scenes with Qumana, as it's not standards compliant coding! The template I use for Movable Type is XHTML Transitional, which allows me a slight leeway in design coding, but not to the extent that Qumana has rendered its type.
All of it's tags are uppercase - which is a big no no. It's using div's where really a simple <p> would have sufficed. It's also dragged the dreaded font tag back from the dead to style type, where any sensible editor would have used span with either a class definition or an inline style definition.
So in short, I won't be using it until it can attain a standards compliant code and trigger Movable Type's publicity call.
