   Hi all,

   I already checked with the several offline editors (a.k.a. blog clients) but these do (after a first test) not satisfy my requirements.

   The requirements are:
   - download the full blog to local repository
   - edit any post content offline (I'm ok /w Attributes, Tags to be changed in online mode only)
   - upload a mass of changes to posts to the server

   Reviewed tools:
   - w.bloggar
   - Ecto
   - Qumana
   - jBlogger
   - Performancing
   - Ecto
   - Zempt (seems to off?)
   - BlogJet

   My current solution has quite some constraints:
   I'm using WAMP with a complete copy of the blog & database. After editing posts locally, I update the production blog with SQL dumps created by sqladmin and heavy text-editing using the REPLACE command within the WP-DBManager Plugin by GaMerZ. This is error prone and tedious...:-)

   Does anyone have a suggestion what I could do?
   I'd be ok from some example SQL scripts to handle the mass easier over an import/export Addin to Windows-Formats up to a fully fledge blog client:-).

   Many thanx in advance,
   Volker

   Big-PS:
   my WAMP solution is inspired by the urbangiraffe tutorial (how to set up a local copy of Wordperfect) and some basic SQL knowledge.

   Does this general approach makes sense to be wrapped into a whitepapper/tutorial (and maybe later a plugin ... - if I'm able to learn PHP:-)?

   In other words:
   Are there more or similiar requests like mine?
   "to edit a large amoount of posts offline (a.k.a. faster than in the web interface) and then upload the changes (NO new posts!:-) in one step"

   Hi,
   Not sure if Zoundry will meet all your requirements (well definetely not the bulk upload option) - but you could give it a try. Ver 1.0 preview is available here:

   http://forums.zoundry.com/viewtopic.php?t=108

   It should have most of the features you were looking for as well as a validating xhtml source editor and real multi blog manager. That is create/update/delete on a single document which is posted to multiple sites. (the single post is mapped to the multiple sites - so that you do not have to edit/update 'copies' of the post at each site when ever you make a change).

   User guide (for 0.9, so it is a bit of date) can be found here:
   http://www.zoundry.com/userguide/userguide.html

   Hope this helps!
   Pidge (Zoundry).
