Zoundry Raven: Portable blogging client for your flash drive

Zoundry Raven
There are plenty of applications that let you write blog posts without using the default web interface for Blogger, Wordpress, LiveJournal, or other blog platforms. But most have one limitation - you have to download and install the application on each and every computer you plan to work on. While Zoundry Raven might not have as many features as Windows Live Writer or be as easy to use as ScribeFire, the free Windows tool has one major advantage: You can install it to a portable flash drive and use it on any Windows computer.

Zoundry Raven supports about two dozen platforms including Wordpress, Blogger, Moveable Type, TypePad, and LiveJournal. The program has a WYSIWYG editor and supports the ability to upload images and add tables to blog posts. Zoundry Raven also let you select from a small list of remote storage options in case you want to upload all of your blog images to Picasa Web Albums, Flickr, or another online storage site.

YeahReader: RSS reader and blog client in one package

YeahReader
Have you ever found yourself reading an item in your RSS reader, only to think, "wow, I should really write about this on my blog?" Well if the reason you didn't follow through is because you were too lazy to open up a second application or web site, YeahReader can help. It's a feed reader and blog client all wrapped up in one.

Neither the feed reader nor the blog client are anything to write home about. You can import OPML files, arrange feeds by category. And you can post entries to your LiveJournal, Blogger, or any application that uses the MetaWeblog API, including WordPress.

The cool part is the way the feed reader and the blog client work together. In addition to the usual feed reader tools that let you mark items as read or unread, you can also click a "blog this" button to copy feed items into the blog client. Just be careful to use this power for good and not evil. In other words, if you're going to say, write about an article you found on Download Squad, please don't copy the whole article and pass it off as your own work. That's what we like to call copyright infringement. On the other hand, you can use YeahReader to copy quotations and other tidbits to your clipboard while writing up your 100% original content inspired by an item you found on another site.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
