RapidMetaBlog – Another dashboard posting solution for WordPress

After reviewing WordPressDash, I decided to tae a look and see if they’re any other OS X Dashboard posting solutions, and I found this one, RapidMetaBlog.

A wordpress plugin that would kick in and do the job if the blog was not updated in a a few days, with one of [...]
