Testing out yet another blog posting tool – elicit from bingobangosoftware. A very unique take on blog posting – very focused on helping semipro bloggers manage their posting rate and their affiliate income. Easy to add affiliate links, easy to manage your stream of posts thru a calendaring interface. I don’t know yet if I like the tool but I admire the inventiveness.
UPDATE: OK on initial testing some goods and bads:
* Good: the scheduler worked perfectly. You can create posts for arbitrary times and they will be posted at that time. I realize there are many other tools to do this, but the outlook-like calendar interface is very nice. * So-so: doesn’t respect mt text processing plugins like textile 2 – but has a full wysiwyg editor and html editor so maybe that is ok * Bad: doesn’t seem to post keywords correctly. Wraps the entry in tags. and most strangely, enters the post body in both the entry body and extended entry fields – not helpful!!
