Blogging with Drivel

I've been reading through the book "Ubuntu Hacks" by Jonathan Oxer, Kyle Rankin and Bill Childers where they recommend using Drivel as a blogging tool for use on Ubuntu Linux. Looking at some descriptions I found that it would work with Blogger so I decided to give it a try.

After using the Synaptic package manager to download and install Drivel it was immediately avialable under Applications->Internet->Drivel in the Gnome Application menu. Starting it brought up a configuration screen where I selected the account type, entered my username and password and it immediately downloaded my most recent blog entries. From there adding a post was just a matter of entering text and hitting "Post".
