BlogAssist

Blogging for TUAW isn't easy.  It takes hours to separate the wheat from the chaff of the Mac web.  After we  get the stories that we want to cover the real difficult part begins. How can I make this story interesting for the great readers of TUAW (more often than not I can't, but I post it anyway).

Not to mention the fact that we need to deal with HTML by linking to things, bolding items, and things of the like. I was seriously thinking of hiring an intern (who would earn only my everlasting gratitude). Just before I could place the ad for an intern on Craigslist I discovered BlogAssist from Dejal, makers of Simon and Narrator just to name a few.

This handy system menu allows you to apply various tags to text that has been copied to the clipboard. This means you can copy a URL from Safari and then click the 'Web Link' item and the text is replaced with the appropriate HTML.

Simple, but effective.
