As I mentioned on my personal blog, I’ve downloaded Qumana LE and have been playing around for a bit with it. First off, I really think this is a great product for bloggers. Sometimes I think of an issue to blog about, and the thought of having to log on to the server before posting actually holds me back from doing so. With Qumana, I just fire up the editor and blog away.
Of course, being new on the scene, there are still some issues to be ironed out. These are just some of my observations from using Qumana for a couple of posts:
- When I use the MetaWebLog API, both my blogs return errors when clicking on previous posts, as well as the categories drop down list. I’ve posted this issue on the Qumana forums.
- When I switch to the MovableType API, the errors disappear, and yet I still can’t select any category from the drop down list, so I have to do it manually from the web.
- How do I edit in HTML mode?
- Uh oh, look at all this messy HTML that gets published
- If I try to insert multiple tags (eg. Qumana, Qumana LE), it shows Qumana twice, and LE once. I have to do Qumana, Qumana+LE and delete the + sign manually once the tags have been inserted.
- No capability to do strike through font (I never usually do this, but just happened that I needed to do this earlier today).
Overall, I can live with all those problems sans the category drop down list problem (BIG one for me) and messy HTML that gets produced, and I’m pretty sure the team will fix those quickly. Apart from that, what’s not to like? Spell checking, easy image, link and tag inserting, WYSIWYG editor and in general a great productivity tool. I think I’m sticking with this for awhile . Thanks for a great product guys!
