DashBlog : Testing 1,2,3.....

"Do you like video? Do you like to blog, tumblr or twitter? Then dashblog is the plugin for you. It’s the fastest and easiest way for you post video, text, quotes, images and songs to your blog, tumblr and twitter (all at the same time).
Plus there’s more – with DashBlog you can do a screen capture and then draw, comment, crop and post all with one simple click."

I'm testing out the capabilities of this Firefox plugin. Trying to grab content off the web and post it to your blog is hard enough to go through the long way. The long way being finding it, collecting it, and then logging into your site and posting it. Too many steps.

Now I can find it, quote it, and then post it in fewer steps. My laziness has no bounds. It has the ability to post to tumblr, Wordpress, twitter, and blogger.

Just highlight the text you want to quote, right click, and then a window opens up to finish your post. You can also grab video and audio from certain sites. Choose the site you want to post to, and bingo!! You have a new blog post.

Obviously you do have to put your password and site/login information, and in this day and age, you probably have done that a thousand times already to other sites, so am I concerned? Not really.

So give it a shot if you'd like. You'll need Firefox, and an account to one of the a fore mentioned sites, and something to say.

EDIT: I was not successful posting to my Wordpress blog for whatever reason. Kept on giving me a parsing error. Not happy with that. But it sent it to the Blogger site fairly easily.

If you have any success with it, let me know.
