A client was considering uploading their commercial to a slew of free video sites — which fortunately didn’t happen — but the process made me realize that there are a quite a few free viral video sites out there. Enjoy…

There are currently two options for posting to WordPress from an OS X widget.

1. [WordPressDash] [WordPressDash]
2. [DashBlog] [DashBlog]

They are both simple and quite functional, but **WordPressDash** has two options that put it ahead of **Dashblog**. Instead of only allowing you to post a new entry, **WordPressDash** provides a Save Draft option. Also, once you’ve posted a new entry, you are provided with a link to immediately view that entry. Very handy!

Both of them have a bug or two, but nothing to keep me from using them. However, I post the majority of my entries [using TextMate] [PostingWithTextMate].

If you are going to use **Dashblog**, the following information will help you get it working:

* Blog Type: Self-run via BloggerAPI
* API URL: youdomain.com/yourpath/xmlrpc.php
* User Name: Your Username
* Password: Your Password
