After looking around the Internet in search of a compatible weblog client, I finally bumped into w.bloggar. As I would suggestion BloGTK for Linux users, Windows users would probably find w.bloggar a good choice for publishing to Blog.

Al is an excellent friend; very generous minded and friendly as well. He has great interest in running his own sites, and some of them, such as Coolest Gadgets and SoftSift has soared to great heights after a few months they were launched, particularly the former.
As a programmer by nature, he has also developed a WordPress Gallery Plugin for some of his blog sites. To avoid confusion, there is also another kind of WordPress Gallery plugin in the World Wide Web (WWW), however though the naming is the same, their functionalities are different. Not sure if Al may consider changing the name of his plugin, but the tool that he’s developed is excellent.
The WordPress Gallery Plugin allows blog visitor to see a visual summary of the latest posts. The idea of having this plugin is to generate a post that reflects the summary of the past few posts that the authors of the (WordPress) blog site have made. In terms of search engine rankings, it also helps to provide more internal linking to improve search engine optimisation (SEO) ranking.
Basically, how the plugin works, is very simple. The plugin first generates a new post containing images and links to the latest recent posts made, and these images are scaled properly to thumbnail sizes, so that they look better than just scaling HTML. Since they are scaled, they are much smaller and faster to load. Once generated, the post is marked as draft on your WordPress Dashboard. To post, simply edit that post and click on Publish.
This plugin also has some configurability to the various options, e.g. number of recent posts. Try it out and you will see how simple it looks.
Download Link
I will not put a hotlink to the plugin download here, as I’d like to credit the work done by Al. There are documentations on his site. So, if you are interested in this plugin, check out the original WP Gallery Plugin page.
