iBlog is a desktop weblogging application that makes authoring and publishing your personal weblogs simple. Unlike other weblogging sytems, you don?t have to be an expert database administrator or a perl programmer to setup and use iBlog. You can preview and publish your weblogs to your iDisk with a single click of a button.
Now you can embed images, format text with various fonts and colors with a convenient WYSIWYG entry window, hyperlink, create custom templates and stylesheets, publish to alternate WebDAV servers and more.

Just wonderful. Nothing less, nothing more.
I have been using iBlog since it’s first iteration. I have modified style sheets and templates and believe my site is not only an example of the power of iBlog, but an example of what can be done with the iBlog templates. iBlog is, without a doubt, the best blogging application on OS X.

Except it’s useless for those of us who don’t want to pony up for .mac!
I’m not going to pay 99 bucks to get .mac if I’m not going to use its features. I have web space, which comes for free with my web access. Why can’t iblog let me use my own web space instead of an idisk? It can’t be that hard to add that capacity. It’s a case of programming laziness in a parochial, amateur application.
Nota bene: the hostility evident here stems from the fact that I really want to use iblog, because it looks like a good app. But I won’t pay $100 for it.
Um, Myron, read the article more carefully. It says iBlog has “publish to alternate WebDAV servers” as a feature. Thus, if you can get WebDAV access to your storage, you can publish with iBlog.
It is not a “.mac” only application.
I think you owe iBlog’s author an apology. And you may want to take a walk or get some fresh air.
iBlog, contrary to the “features”, does not reliably support non-“.Mac” publishing methods (at least the last revision I was able to check). I had to abandon using it because it failed miserably at publishing by FTP. The most current release notes doesn’t say this has been fixed (there is still a warning on the web site about using FTP) and the software doesn’t let me re-install to test if its been fixed (trial period expired)… If anyone can confirm publishing by FTP is now 100% I’d love to try it again because it really is a great app aside from this (major, for me) problem.
iBlog is reliable for ftp. However, you need to reset the publish prior to FTP to get 100% reliability. That invariably slows down the process, but you know for sure it wors. For me, worked like a charm.
i dont get it! is it not possible to import an exisiting blog? i dont want to toast my blog so i wont try…
I just downloaded and find that you can upload your blog not only to .Mac, but also to an ftp, afp (AppleShare), or WebDAV server – look in Preferences under the Publish tab.
Thanks, Steve, for clarifying that, you condescending asshole.
I looked into iBlog a few months ago, and found the same thing that was said above: “You can previewand publish your weblogs to your iDisk.” Which means .mac. As you suggested,I did read the article carefully, and noted the bit about webDAV, and since I have no idea what that is, promptly ignored it.
That said, if iBlog has been updated and allows publishing to non-.mac web pages, then that’s great and I will grab it immediately. And in that case kudos, rather than apologies, to its author.
