Jeeran has teamed up with Performancing - www.performancing.com - to bring Arabic version of the widely popular blog editor - Performancing for Firefox.

If you're a blogger and are not familiar with Performancing then you should get out more :)  Performancing is a group of professional bloggers with a mission "To create a home for professional bloggers. A place where those that want to make money from their blogs can learn, and perfect the art of making a living from weblogging."

Performancing for Firefox provides bloggers with a seamless interface to popular weblog platforms such as Jeeran, WordPress and MovableType. It allows them to post to their blogs from a split screen within the Firefox browser. It also features drag-and-drop functionality for more efficient blogging, enabling bloggers to easily insert text or graphics into their posts, and a “notes” tab that allows bloggers to take notes while building and researching posts.

As a result of this partnership, Jeeran's bloggers can upgrade their blogging experience through the power of Performancing and the "open-mindedness" of our blogging engine, which enables integration with any external blogging applocation through an open API -http://api.jeeran.com/blogs/rpc/- wich adopts the universal MetaweblogAPI standards.

I encourgae you to download and use this great application. You will find that you wont be able to live without it :)

Flickr is the leading photo publishing and sharing service on the web. almost every serious blogger has a Flickr account which makes it essential for them to be able to integrate easily between their image collection and their blog.

This integration is now possible with Jeeran Blogs through our Web Service API. It will also enable any third party application/web site to utilize the power of Jeeran Blogs.

Now, everyone with a Jeeran Blog can setup their Flickr account to enable blogging of their photos directly from Flickr.

To know more about how to set it up, please read: Posting from Flickr to Jeeran

It is also worth mentioning that the Jeeran Blogs API is based on the universal MetaweblogAPI standard, so any application that supports this standard can be setup to use the API.

Now, if you have a Gravatar registered with your email address, it will appear automatically when you post a comment using that e-mail address on any of the thousands of blogs that we host.

For those who don’t know what a Gravatar is; It stands for "Globally Recognized Avatar". It’s a personal Icon that will appear next to your name if you post topics of comments to any Gravatar enabled blog or discussion board. It will be tied to the email address you registered it with, so you'll have to use the same e-mail address on those sites.

To get your Gravatar go to: www.gravatar.com

This is what you get when you work at Jeeran, a fridge full of all-you-can-eat goodies ;-D ... I think we need a bigger fridge...

Sabri Hakim -a young and rising Jordanian photographer- has featured Jeeran.com on his blog. Sabri recently visited our offices and was so impressed that he took pictures (view his post)

As Sabri said, we try to reflect the spirit of Jeeran in everything we do, even the smallest things.

Thank you Sabri. As they say: "People of quality appreciate quality" :)
