This week i would like to give you information about BlogDesk – a standalone WordPress editor. BlogDesk lets you handle your Technorati tags for your posts and provides image handling including resizing, rotating and image crops. BlogDesk is free of charge for personal and commercial use.

During the first months of my WordPress experiment, i had a lot of difficulties while trying to edit images. I thought WordPress was limited to its built-in editor only. I believed the only way for me to edit faster was to get familiar with its built-in editor. After a short while, i discovered BlogDesk. It is a real time saver.
