Blogging tools are the backbone of any blog. Yesterday I got an idea of making my own favorite blogging tool, I researched some article on the web and I landed to my favourite blogger Darren Rowse Blog’s Problogger where I found that Darren already made a huge list of blogging tool. Though all the tools which Darren described are very useful but on those list I choose my own favourite and made my own list. This list is categorized as:
