Quickposting to Movable Type blog

   One of the applications that I find lacking in Linux is a full featured blogging client. There are a few like BloGTK, blokkal etc. but they are far from being fully featured. There are some plug-in based variants, like Scribus, but I'm not much of a fan of it. The online native posting is still more fully featured than any of these.
   Here comes an easy trick for quickly posting to your blog from within firefox (or any other browser), without leaving the current page. You can create a bookmark in firefox with the following link (remember to change your blog's mt.cgi path)
http://<path to mt.cgi>?__mode=view&qp=1&_type=entry&blog_id=1

  In the "Properties" for the bookmark, remember to select "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" checkbox. Now, if you remain logged in to the blog, you can just start blogging by clicking on this bookmar. Here is how it looks in Firefox while I'm writing this post.
