Blogging Tools

Added ftpsync a perl script to my list of simple blogging tools. This a perl script that compares the files on the remote server with those in the local directory where I keep a copy of my blog.

That eliminates the hassle of having to write my own perl script to sync things up. So far I've got markdown along with BlazeBlogger and ftpsync working together along with some simple bash commands run as external tools in gedit and things are pretty much automatic. I write the post using the markdown markup code then one key press and that is converted to html that blaze likes and it gets added in to blaze then when I'm through with all my writing a ctrl-F6 runs blaze-make and then uses ftpsync to put it all on the site.
