It now looks quite easy to post to WordPress via email:

What I do is use Textile + a regular text editor (my preferred is emacs). I’ll edit a post in the browser, then use a firefox plugin (AllText — I think) to fire up the editor. Textile is “human-friendly” markup language, so you don’t need a WYSIWIG editor. A simple text editor like LeafPad is good enough. However, this won’t work in your case, since you’re on wordpress.com.

What about editing the HTML in something like Bluefish? It seems to me that the solution for you is to find a light-weight HTML editor — open the post for editing in the browser and then use a light weight HTML editor to edit the post offline.

Then have you tried Saig Office? It isn't terribly sophisticated, but it is specifically designed to run on low power systems without hiccups.

Perhaps Vimblog (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2030), extension to Vim could work for you…?
Or – another solution – It’s All Text (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125) – Firefox addon…? You can set it to use your editor of choice…
Anyway, wishing you and all Happy New 2009 Year,
Hanna

Not a bad idea, except OpenOffice at 550Mhz is like having your head pressed through a bowl of mashed potatoes.

Since I have not seen anybody mention it, how about using Open Office + ICE + WordPress to do your posting. Info here.

Actually, that’s probably the best link thus far. Thanks for that …

What about java? I have seen several java blogging clients on Sourceforge, but I’m not sure how well you favor java. It may run sluggish on your system.

Sourceforge does have alot of stuff on there. Try out their search engine

We should suggest to WordPress that they have a “lo-fi” version of the control panel.

Just like the minimal versions you see in some disccussion boards like Invision Board, I think there should be a minimal version with barely any “stuff” on the screen other than what’s absolutely needed to manage the blog.
