Always when writing posts, or writing anything I’ll come across a word I don’t know how to spell. I used to whip open a new tab and type it into Google and well done to Google for indirectly being a very good spell checker but it was still kind of inconvienient.

Yesterday afternoon I was looking for a good to do list widget (I still haven’t found one, suggestions?) and there was Spelling Bee sitting right underneath the spotlight. It was perfect.

The little bee is so cute, it does little circles while you’re typing and it’s trying to find the word. It’s pretty tiny too which I really like. The only other widget I run is the weather and it’s quite large. I like my desktop as unncluttered as possible with a maximum of three icons and the Spelling Bee is as clean as it gets.

The wonderful news I read earlier today is that Wordpress 2.1 will have an inline spell checker. It’s already on wordpress.com. I’ve been wanting a spell checker for a really long time. For now Spelling Bee is doing a great job, he’s been used about 3 times this post.
