Over the course of the last couple months, I received quite a bit of feedback. Many of you asked for changes in the interface to make it look less cluttered. So I took some time and re-designed the look and feel to make it more user-friendly, if that was even possible.

The most requested item was support for Blogger. I am happy to report, I have added basic support for posting to your Blogger account. Based on user feedback, I might add more features, but for now, you can post and edit. That should make a lot of you happy.

While I did change the look of the application, I also did a complete overhaul of the code behind the scenes. Things should run much more efficiently.

The most notable change, however, will be the lack of support for Twitter and Pownce. I have removed Pownce support completely because of the utter lack of activity over there, and I removed the Twitter component of the application because of the unstableness of the Twitter site. I am still working on the code, and when I feel it is stable enough, I will re-release the Twitter components of Stuffr as a stand-alone module you can run alongside Stuffr.

So, here is the new Stuffr:

Stuffr, a desktop blogging client for Windows, has a streamlined design that works in conjuction with multiple weblog platforms.

With keyboard shortcuts, syntax highlighting, and smart prompts, Stuffr offers you all of the tools needed for speedy and convenient posting.

Stuffr allows you to save drafts or publish entries to your blog in real time, but it also offers the choice of saving the post locally for further review and editing.

New in this version of Stuffr are four preset color themes, as well as the choice to customize the interface colors.
