Maybe the title to my previous post (“Words of Warning”) should be the title to this one…. Last night I installed Zempt, a desktop application to publish to your weblog. It’s in beta status (0.3) but “Zempt is completely stable and should be suitable for most blog authors.” Well, it’s not suitable for me. It corrupted my database (unless it was just pure coincidence, in which case 2 other users on their forums suffered the same unfortunate coincidence). I spent the last hour recreating the entire weblog which is (hopefully) back to normal now. Fortunately I have saved versions and have not yet heavily customized the design.
The idea for the software is a great concept–it’s not unique, but it’s free which is nice. It allows you to spell check easily and publish quickly and easily without filling out a web form, but wait until they’ve ironed out some bugs before you try it on a live site.
