TESTING…TESTING

This is just a test of the AirPress application. Ok, what’s that? AirPress is a software program that you can download and use for free on a PC or Mac, allowing you to post to your blog directly from your computer’s desktop. AirPress is so called because it runs on Adobe AIR, a new technology created by Adobe Systems (the makers of Photoshop and also Flash), based in CA. AIR combines the Adobe Flash Player and also Webkit (the HTML engine used in Apple’s Safari browser) to run programs that were developed by Web developers like us.

So, why are we using AirPress? We’ll be blogging from the road, trail or river much of the time so we won’t always have a reliable internet connection. Many AIR applications can be used when your computer is both online or offline and just having a way to compose blog posts from our laptop will be very helpful. At this time it’s not sure if AirPress supports online/offline synchronization but we’ll be testing that out between now and our trip.

For more information about how you can also use this AIR application for your own blog, visit www.airpress.org

(Adobe AIR is currently in Beta but many initial applications have already been created and are available here).
