I hope to do it this week.  Now I need to think of a good domain name.

As far as full featured blogging editors go, so far I’ve only tried ones that work in Windows.  Even though I love Linux,  I still spend most of my time in Windows.  So far, I’ve tried: Ecto, W.Bloggar and Qumana.
Between Ecto and W.Bloggar, I think I liked Ecto the best.  It had a very intuitive interface and I found it easy to use.  Since I’m a cheap bastard ;) I decided to keep looking for something free.
W.Bloggar seemed full featured; however, I really hated the interface.  I’m sure once I used it for a while, it would be great.  Unfortunately, I’m not that patient.
Lastly, I found Qumana.  It’s a free editor that also has integrated support for their QAds.  The interface is actually very nice and pretty intuitive.  I think I’lll stick with Qumana for now.

At the very least, I want to start putting Linux tips and tricks in here. Most will probably be from the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter, while others may be original. :)
