Blogging Toolkit of Whoismadhur
Blogging Toolkit is a set of tools that a blogger uses to create , manage and optimize his website . Basically the tools used by a blogger to run his blog . I have been tagged by Sizlopedia to reveal my Blogging toolkit and so here i go .
Blogging Platform
When i first started blogging a year ago , i created my first blog at blogspot but shifted to WordPress within a week as i found it much better than blogger . I dont think anyone will disagree with me on this one .
Blogging Client
I have used Windows Live Writer in the past but after the launch of WP 2.1 i use the rich text editor of WordPress as it has been enhanced greatly from the previous version.
Statistics Software
I use Google Analytics along with awstats to measure my site stats
Blog Promotion
I have employed a few SEO plugins in my blog which i think are doing there job.
Blog Feeds
Although i learned the concept of feeds a bit late , i am using Feedburner for it and it sure rocks .
Browser
It will raise a few eyebrows but my choice is IE7 . I have been using IE ever since i started surfing so i dont feel like changing it .
Blog Graphics
Though i am not much of a graphics person but i am starting to learn a bit of Adobe Photoshop now as i feel it is essential for every blogger .
So that wraps it up . And now its my turn to tag somebody and i tag Eches , Ashish and John to share there Toolkit with us .
Madhur,
I was surprised to see yourself using IE7, many complain about it.
I too think its ok, but firefox rocks!
Nice little write up there Madhur. It’s good to see what setups fellow bloggers are running.
[...] Blogging Toolkit Blogging is not just about writing, though the content is the most important but bloggers have to know more than just writing. They have to be a mix of technical tools and blogging ideas, specific to their niche. Its been a good time of blogging on technospot.net and Now i know blogging much better than I used to. With time I have sorted out some tools which I use most of the time as a resource for creating content or imaging. The most important part is you can never rely on one tool. You have to upgrade with time and choose an alternate one when it comes a better one. Madhur Tagged me on his post of Madhur’s Blogging ToolKit. [...]
Madhur,thanks for the info, can you elaborate on SEO plugins you use?

It is clearly evident these days most of the bloggers had started with blogger platform and then moved into WordPress blogging platform.
I use even Notepad and paper to write my posts.
Whenever I want to write, I write.. so I always carry a piece of paper with me.
Don’t ask me abt stats tracking software! I have all the possible junk that one can have.
WordPress has some cooler functionality and definitely better support.

@Ashwin
Yeah thats a good technique for remembering things .

IE7??? :-O
What Web2.0 said about the SEO plugins…..
Shouldn’t you move off of WP 2.1.1 Madhur, I though that one was compromised?
