iBlog is an elegant desktop blogging solution that makes authoring and publishing personal blogs a breeze. Unlike other blogging solutions you don't have to be an expert database administrator or a perl programmer to setup and use iBlog. You can preview and publish blogs to your iDisk with a single click of a button.
Apart from iDisk, iBlog also supports publishing to FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, AFP and Local servers. iBlog is a multi-document application, which means you can have multiple document windows of Blogs, Categories and Entries open at the same time. Simply copy Entries from one blog to the other using Drag and Drop.
iBlog indexes the content (Title, Summary and Body) of the entries automatically when you save them so you can quickly find the entry you are looking for by using the Search Field in the main iBlog window. The buttons at the bottom of the Main Window provide a quick access to the most common tasks in iBlog.
You customize the layout and appearance of the blog by using the settings (Theme and Stylesheet) in the Display section of the Blog window. All the options in the Blog are divided into multiple sections and you view each one by clicking the appropriate toolbar icon of the Blog window.
The Theme Builder in the Admin menu provides a Finder like column view to navigate the Themes folder. Select the file you want to view and an editor tab in opened in the lower half of the window. You cannot edit the default Theme (Classic) that is included in iBlog. You have to create a duplicate theme theme first by clicking the plus button.
The Admin menu also provides options for other functionality like managing the Authors and importing application data from the 1.x version. 2.x version provides the functionality to import all the important data from the previous version of the application.
