Thanks Nia. Yes the beer plugin is compatible with WP 2.2.

Thanks Jennifer for talking about text editors. I do use Notepad for most of my first drafts. But I also liked the online writing tool for a simple reason:

You can save it as your home page. So its the first thing you see - before email and other distractions. Makes being disciplined a bit easier.

Why not just use a text editor? This online version sends your writing to a server on someone elses machine. I read the privacy policy, but it seems to open to someone getting my writing to me. It is an interesting concept though for someone who has a hard time staying motivated to write.
