Extensions in the Mozilla browsers: Blog This

To start using this extension, simply right-click with your mouse on a loaded web page in Firefox or Mozilla. In the bottom of the context menu you will find the option Blog This. By choosing that option, a log in window will appear. If you haven't registered yet on Blogger, it's time to do so!

Blogger is a web-based tool that helps you publish to the web instantly - whenever there is something that you want to share with your friends or the rest of the world. A blog is a web page (online diary) made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically—like a what's new page or a journal.

To start blogging you don't need an existing website or hosting or any of that stuff. Blogger can provide you with web space. If you already have a web site you want to use Blogger to publish to, you simply need FTP access to it (if you're not sure if you have this, ask your web host or look at their documentation).

Blogger gives you a way to automate (and greatly accelerate) the blog publishing process without writing any code or worrying about installing any sort of server software or scripts. And yet, it still gives you total control over the look and location of your blog. You can choose between some predefined templates or make your own:

The template you choose for your page indicates where you want your posts to appear. When you want to publish something, you simply enter it in a form. If you want to upload a file to the post, add an url, or write some of the text in bold or italic, you don't have to remember to codes for it. There are a few options that you can simply just click. When you're ready, simply hit the "Publish" button and the post will automatically be sent to your chosen web server. It's as simple as it can get!
