(This extension is for Flock Cormorant only - the unstable version of Flock)
Just after Christmas, I started this extension as an experiment to see how hard it would be to put Flock’s blog editor in the bottom. It turned up to be pretty easy and require very few lines of code: the back-end is the same, as well as the rich editor based on Gecko’s <editor> widget. You can look at the source, it’s pretty short. Get it here: Lower Blog
The reason why I tried that is, of course, Performancing for Firefox. Performancing is a great extension for Firefox to help you to blog from your browser, just like Flock’s blog editor. It is based onFlock. different choices, such as having the editor in the bottom rather than in a separate window like Flock.
I personnally prefer to have the blog editor in a separate window, because the few blog posts I write are pretty long. But some people were asking for the editor in the bottom, and now I can understand why. I think having the editor in the bottom is convienient if you’re writing a short blog about a specific page. The blog editor is quickly openned, the post quickly published and the editor quickly closed.
Now, whatever you prefer, you can choose. Flock’s blog editor in a separate window, Flock’s blog editor in the bottom or even Performancing - it’s compatible with Flock!
PS: If you use Cormorant and the blog editor, be sure to check tones’ great Blog Plus extension.

At last and Thanks. looks really really good. I hate opening separate windows also when are you guys moving to the Firefox 2.0 Codebase
Well, that looks very good ! Thanks Erwan !
Where can we find this extension ?
How hard would it be to offer the possibility to "undock" this blog editor when needed ?
bluesazex: we are actually already working on a FF2.0 codebase, see Mark's post about Cormorant here: http://www.flock.com/node/8736 . There will probably be a developer preview in about one month, the public release following later in a time frame depending on the number and severity of bugs we discover at that point.
ghismo: oops, I forgot the link. It's in the post now. "Undock" it is an interesting idea, I don't know how hard it would be so I will have to give it a try before I know what's possible and what's not.

Angels have wings; I do not have, so I am not an angel. The devil is magic; I do not have, so I am not magic. I have, is helpless, despair and loneliness cheap Lunia gold. The bottom of my heart the hope and despair to struggle with fierce, winning is helpless. I have learned to accept the helpless, helpless to compromise. Angels’ disadvantage is the good, the shortcomings of the devil are too evil, and my shortcomings are too cowardly.
