Top 5 Free Applications Every Blogger Needs

I have only been a blogger for a short time, but there are already certain applications I can’t live without. They improve my productivity and help me better manage my blog. Here are the five applications I can’t live without.

Windows Live Writer
Windows Live Writer is a desktop blogging application that allows you to write and edit posts from your desktop. This software makes it extremely easy to insert photos and videos to your post. It has also made me more productive due to the fact that I can work on new posts even when there is no Internet connection available.
FileZilla
FileZilla is a great FTP client that makes it easy to upload any new updates, themes or plugins you may want to add to your WordPress.
IrfanView
IrfanView is a great screen capturing and editing tool for bloggers, because it is lightweight and easy to use. It also has tons of plugins that add to its already great functionality.
Twhirl
Twhirl is a Twitter and FriendFeed desktop client. Twhirl makes it easy to update from your desktop and to keep up with all of your friends and readers. Recently, twhirl added the ability to cross post to Pownce and Jaiku. This makes it even easier to stay in touch with everyone.
Flock
Flock is a new social web browser based on the Mozilla code. It gives you the ability to manage several social networks and your RSS feeds from your browser. Those are great features, but it isn’t the reason for its inclusion. It is included for its ability to easily post videos, photos, or articles to your blog. Updating your blog while surfing the web has never been so easy.
