I was reading Guy Kawasaki’s blog today when I noticed he had a little “Powered by Qumana” tagline at the bottom of his posts. I decided to check it out because if it helped “power” Guy’s blog to the Technorati Top 50, then I wanted to use it too 
So here it goes – the inaugural post using Qumana.
What is Qumana? and what can it do?
- A WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) desktop blog editor
- Post to your blog without having to log into your blog site and it works on both Windows and Mac
- Manage multiple blogs from the same application
- Add Technorati tags to your posts (this helps other people find your posts easier)
- Oh, and it lets you add Q-Ads into your posts Q-Ads is their own ad system that allows you to add ads by keywords (not contextual like Google Adsense).
After I try using it a few more times, I’ll write a follow-up post with my thoughts about both Qumana and Q-Ads. It seems pretty easy to use so far.

Hmm, ok, already a few things wrong with it so far.
1) It didn’t set the categories right (so I had to edit the post afterwards)
2) The application errored when I posted, but it showed up on the blog.
3) (Not wrong, just something to be aware of) It’s not really WYSIWYG since it doesnt show up according to your CSS styles. Maybe the next version will be better.
