It uses TinyMCE for WYSIWYG editing. I currently use Performancing as an editor built in to Firefox which is very handy. I also use Wordpress' own editor to post most topics, but this looks like a nice alternative. you can insert images form Flickr and movies from Youtube. You can also do highlighting. You can even do tables within your post.

I'm now going to post this message and see how it handles categories.

I’m typing this one using a portable keyboard and my Zodiac pda. I’ll then copy and paste the text into the Web browser and save the post. I’m curious to see what happens because the pda’s browser does not work well with javascript and I’m not sure if this Wordpress blog uses javascript for composing posts.

If this works, I will be able to post from anywhere there’s a wi-fi connection.
