blogBuddy (http://blogbuddy.sourceforge.net) is the Windows (95/NT/ME/2000/XP) equivalent of BlogApp, providing a basic text editor with bold, italic, underline, and hyperlink buttons (see Figure 2-5), web service-based spell checking (meaning you don’t need to install a big dictionary), support for multiple weblogs (but not multiple accounts), and the ability to edit previous posts and main and archive templates.
