I’m testing out Drivel as a blog editor right now as I type this in. I loaded it before Blogilo but couldn’t get it going right away for some reason. It actually took me a while to figure out what I had to use for a Journal type to make it actually work. The options are Live Journal, Blogger 1.0, Blogger 2.0, and MovableType.

The one thing I have been finding out about conky is that is is very tedious to really set it up. There is no “user friendly” GUI to configure it like the Screenlets so you have to do a lot of text editing to get it to work right. And you have to really ignore word wrap.
