My Blogging Toolkit includes >

Blogging Platform:
WordPress :
I’ve been blogging for over a year now, and I have found Wordpress, the best blogging platform. I started with Blogger, moved to microblog, before settling on Wordpress. I’m using version 2.09 of wordpress right now.

Desktop Blogging Client:
BlogJet :
There are a lot of good desktop clients out there, but I have become most comfortable with BlogJet. It was after a long search that I have found this software. ScribeFire is also a good blogging add-in for Firefox.

Statistics Software:
Google Analytics, Tracewatch
Google Analytics is a free service by Google while Tracewatch is a free PHP Script to monitor your website.

Blog Promotion and feed:
Technorati, Feedburner :
So far, I am also using the ping feature of BlogJet to notify a large list of services each time I post. There’s more work to be done in this area.

Browser:
Firefox – While a browser may not be a blogging tool, but, I find Firefox simplifies the blogging experience. The ability to keep a number of tabs open to links, or while researching and reading related information is helpful. I keep a number of regular bookmarks on the bookmark toolbar, which get a lot of use, along with the Google toolbar for Firefox.

Graphics:
ACDSee 8.0 – I don’t have a lot to do with graphics. Most of what I want to do with an image is crop or resize. ACDSee lets me do that easily as well as being able to play around with other graphics features.
