So I thought I'd give Contribute 4 a testdrive. Believe it or not, you edit *live*, in the page -- like directly where your blog post is going to end up. Rich formatting works, the whole nine yards.

I'm not sure what I think about this, though, since this is a very Dreamweaver-like model of the web... where everything has a URL and doesn't end up scattered around the web as RSS.

Still, a fascinating take on website design, composition and blogging!
