linux blogging... ugh

i am sorely disappointed by the state of linux blogging clients for blogger 2 (atom). the only one that even claims to support it is drivel, and this in svn only (not in any stable release). checking out was easy enough: svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/drivel/trunk then, autogen.sh, configure, make, make install. but it crashes when i try to connect to http://www.blogger.com/api. maybe i'll try drivel again if it gets more work. but it looks like i'll be using the !@#$% browser for the foreseeable future.
