Nice list, I 2nd Firefox, Bloglines and WordPress (though I use Blogger too)
To take screenshots I use MWSnap, to manage the clipboard Clipomatic, and GIMP/InkScape as graphic editors…

The Blogging Toolkit of Mac Switcher

Since I am switched, the first thing I do is to find Mac softwares that function the same as the blogging tools I use on Windows. Though I am still not very satisfy, but I think I can survive with the following Mac blogging tools.

@Azmeen Afandi: I use Photoshop too, but when I want to do something simple and quick, I use PhotoFiltre because PhotoShop will take minutes to startup on my old PC…

@CLF: Ya, Firefox read feeds too, but perhaps I have used to Bloglines. I no longer use any free image hoster, I host all images on my own.

@havuk: Yeah, Blogger user should use Picasa Hello. They are best match.

Firefox covers the feed stuff too, but sometimes Firefox coundlt read some feed.... dunno why. But still it "eats" on most feeds without any prob.I think WordPress are for the pros to blog, and Blogger is for starters.Oh yea, u forgot image hosters, like Flickr & ImagesHack.

Some of my favourite tools are Firefox extensions themselves. For example, the Netcraft and StumbleUpon toolbars. They provide lots of interesting information to blog about.

I’m also an avid W3C standards advocate, and thus I find the Web Developer extension for FF extremely useful to analyse and troubleshoot my webbies.

Graphics wise, I guess The Gimp does what I really need to do to resize and do minor edits on pictures. However, I still prefer Photoshop when I absolutely must use Windows boxes.
