Upgraded to Smart Manilla


I have been using FM Radio for just on a year, and when I read about Smart Manilla I knew I had to upgrade.

From the FAQ:

SmartManila is a desktop application that simplifies and enhances the maintenance of one or more sites maintained by Userland's Radio or Manila. SmartManila integrates three applications: blog publishing tool, news aggregator, and web browser, into a single, easy-to-use, unified application. SocialDynamX provides a better writing surface to review, edit and post items on your site and includes a spell checker, easy image insertion, and support for drafts. An integrated tabbed browser is just a click away, and when connected to Radio, you can read all of your RSS feeds in the built-in News Aggregator.

And, since I was a FM Radio User, it was a free upgrade! Gotta love that

It's been a pretty sweat transition. Highly recommended!
