drivel

Drivel is a GNOME client for working with online journals, also known as weblogs or simply "blogs". It retains a simple and elegant design while providing many powerful features, including:

  • Support for LiveJournal, Blogger, MovableType, Advogato, and Atom journals (systems based off these are also supported, including WordPress and Drupal)
  • The ability to post, edit, delete, and view recent entries
  • Integrated spellchecking and HTML syntax highlighting.
  • Offline composition and editing.
  • Automatic recovery in the event of a crash.
  • Journal system extensions, including LiveJournal security groups and MovableType categories.

    • After quite a long break, drivel has moved back to subversion at SourceForge and I've joined the upstream team. Please refer to the SourceForge information, not the GNOME repositories.

    Drivel 3.0.0 is a major release, overhauling the internal code to remove deprecated functions, handle all the transitions that have occurred since the last release and merge the two branches of drivel back into one trunk. The release also includes translations of the Drivel Manual for the first time.

    Bugs should be filed using the bugtracker at bugzilla.gnome.org.

    Drivel is already in Debian and Ubuntu.

    Further releases in the 3.x series are aimed at migrating from direct manipulation of XMLRPC to using GValue interpretation via libsoup2.4 and replacing GnomeVFS with GIO.
