iBlog is a simple and sleek software for desktops that streamlines the process of creating and sharing personal blogs. Its intuitive interface makes authoring and publishing blogs effortless, allowing users to focus on their content.
With iBlog, users can create a range of blogs for personal interests, hobbies, work, projects, tasks, and anything related to writing. It is also possible to generate multiple categories for each blog, allowing users to further arrange their entries. Clicking on the name of the blog or category reveals entries that enable users to sort them by title or date of creation by clicking on the column.
Moreover, users can access all the entries entered on a specific day by clicking on that day using the calendar view. Adding new blogs, categories, and entries is a breeze with sliding sheets. Before publishing, users can preview their blogs. Upon completion of editing, iBlog will create the complete set of HTML files and directory structure and open the default browser to preview the locally published pages. By clicking on the publish button, users can publish blogs to the iDisk.
Published blogs have an impressively designed homepage that displays the ten most recent entries. Moreover, the archives links enable users to navigate a collection of entries by day, month, and year. iBlog also generates a RSS/XML file for all user blogs, allowing other people to subscribe to their blog. Users can also easily subscribe to other blogs and newsfeeds using the blog subscription option.
The search function lets users search for keywords in titles and contents of the entries, and is easy to use. Users can email friends to let them know about published blogs and edit all entries from a straightforward edit window. Some features of iBlog include creating and managing multiple blogs and categories, creating and editing multiple entries easily, subscribing to other blogs and newsfeeds, and previewing blogs by publishing them to the local hard disk or publishing to iDisk with a single click.
With iBlog, limitations include the expiry of the proper license key in three weeks. Nonetheless, iBlog holds its own as one of the best blogging software packages to come out in recent years, capable of meeting a broad spectrum of users' needs.
