Light, quick, and easy to use
I am a little surprised to not see Swish getting more love on here. I have a love/hate thing with Wordpress for blogging. I love the integration with my site, but posting feels like a hassle, so I do it less than I should.
I've tried a few external tools to make the process easier, but Swish is the most streamlined. I couldn't get it to migrate from my existing WP blog, so my setup was more painful than it should have been, but after manualy transferring the content, then working my way through the setup options and settings, everything is running smoothly.
The site is not super customizable and is pretty simple, but it's clean and fast. Best of all, it takes me just a couple of minutes to enter a new post. For the first time in a very long time, I am now ahead of schedule and I have the next couple of weeks of posts created and entered into the Swish scheduler.
I am very pleased with the base offering. I am hoping Swish sticks around, and that develop continues, making the product even better.
