Zempt [blog editor]
By Gearhead, NetworkWorld.com, 03/01/05
Zempt 4.0 is a remote blog editing program published as donateware that works well with Movable Type (which, incidentally, Network World uses for its blogs).
Zempt is sort of wysiwyg and seems (so far) to be reasonably robust.
The program's simple user interface consists of a title field with an associated combo box for selecting the entry's primary category, a main entry editing panel, and extended entry panel, an excerpt editing panel, and a keywords field. Selecting the Preview tab shows what the posted entry will look like.
Several of Zempt's formatting tools insert raw HTML which is why we said "sort of wysiwyg" and there's a spell checker that oddly doesn't know the word "blog" or "Zempt". You can save entries to local storage, publish to your blog, specify the destination of trackback pings ... all the basics you need.
Unless something a lot better appears, we're sticking with Zempt.
