Software for managing weblogs.

Desktop tools

These client-side tools run on your computer and create files you upload to your Web server. (Some desktop tools upload files automatically) The main advantage of desktop tools is that they provide a much better working environment than server tools (below), since they can all the power of your computer instead of sharing one server among thousands of users.

Wiki Mode for Emacs: If you're one of those people who lives in Emacs, WikiMode is the ultimate powertool. Let's you create and navigate Wiki pages as buffers, and renders the whole Wiki to HTML with two keystrokes.

Server tools

These server-side tools run on your Web server, or on another Web server run by the tool provider. You write in a Web browser and send your weblog posts through a Web browser. The main advantage of server tools is that you can write on any computer, anywhere, as long as it's connected to the net.
