2 niner niner 2

This post is the reason that I am not yet using K2 from Joomlaworks.gr for this site; I need to be able to create and post entries using either Widows Live Writer or the ScribeFire plugin for Firefox. I much prefer to use these two editors as opposed to the 'back end' or 'front end' of the site using the native Joomla editor, third party editors or K2's existing methods. The main reason is that these two are rock-solid editors and function as expected; no 'gotchas'. Additionally, I am also able to fire them up in an instant without having to login to the site, front or back, which makes it extremely convenient for quick posts when an idea comes to mind.

K2 is a fantastic addition to Joomla I really do like all the other amazing things it can do, but unfortunately, the lack of support for the metaWeblog xml-rpc plugin to allow this post to be posted, I can't use it just yet.

Follow this link to where you will find detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to set up Joomla! to use these two remote editors. There are also links there to download the two required Joomla! plugins. You can visit the sites where to download ScribeFire and Windows Live Writer by clicking the respective graphic.
