“I installed GNote from the PPA. And when it was finally
installed, guess what. I launched it and was surprised to see

menu, there’s no such thing as “post to your
blog” as an option.

“What is to love about it?

Another thing is that it seems to use only half the memory that
Tomboy uses.
It recognized all my Tomboy notes and so I didn’t really have
to do anything to make sure it does that. Very convenient.”
