Drivel 2 Rocks! (a.k.a My First, Rather, Techie Post)

(taken from: http://www.dropline.net/drivel/)

Drivel is a GNOME client for working with online journals, also known as weblogs or simply blogs. It retains a simple and elegant design while providing many powerful features, including:

Support for LiveJournal, Blogger, MovableType, Advogato, and Atom journals (systems based off these are also supported, including WordPress and Drupal)

The ability to post, edit, delete, and view recent entries
Integrated spellchecking and HTML syntax highlighting

Offline composition and editing

Automatic recovery in the event of a crash

Journal system extensions, including LiveJournal security groups and MovableType categories

If you're using Ubuntu (or Debian or any deb-based distro (i suppose) ), get the deb file from here.

PROs: (based on my use)

It absolutely rocks!

It allows me to post, update and delete without ever having to go through site, at least not directly.

It's a nifty, all-in-one thingamabob thingie.

CONs: (based on my use)

It doesn't support LJ tags, just yet. (But it's in the works.)

It doesn't seem to support Blogspot titles (or maybe I haven't figured it out yet?)
