BloGTK 2.0

So, I decided that if I was going to make a go of my blogging career, than it was imperative that I find a desktop client from which I could administer my blog.

After trying out several different linux clients, I finally settled on BloGTK.

The easiest way to install BloGTK is to edit your Software Sources:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Then add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jayreding/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/jayreding/ppa/ubuntu lucid main

After saving your changes, be sure to update your package list:

sudo apt-get update

After you have updated your package list install blogtk:

sudo apt-get install blogtk

That's it! Now you should have BloGTK installed.

These instructions will work whether you have Lucid or Maverick installed.

There are other linux clients out there, but out of all of them, BloGTK has the fewest shortcomings.
