Blogging Software

[Ghambit]

So, I'm trying to take more control of my online presence; paying more attention to my domains, shifting my emails to my own rather than some 3rd party, etc.  
One of them I want to turn into a 'repository' for my quacky ideas.

So basically, I need a blogging plugin that'll allow me to login from anywhere and input pretty much anything:

a) (most important) it needs a paint program built-in that I can scribble into
b) needs a text field I can type into (or at least a text box)
c) a certain area needs to be 'protected' (for IP sensitive stuff)
d) should be commentable and all that
e) audio/video capable, etc.
f) WYSIWYG preferred (i dont like goofing around with formatting)

SIMPLICITY and speed is key.  For the most part I want something like what 'collaborative telepresence' software does, but in a blogging format.  It'll basically snapshot whatever I think of.  I dont care if it's not free btw.

Anyone have any damned clue if something exists that'll provide this?  Perhaps a known entity like wordpress with a specialized plugin?
(sigh)  I have the feeling you guys are gonna make me do something custom.

Wordpress is my platform of choice for blogging or for customisation as a CMS for (small scale) clients. It does - or can be made to do - most of what you want it to do and there are no end of plugins and widgets and doodads to extend it/secure it/integrate it with twitbook+ etc.

The integrated paint program is not something I've ever seen though. That might be wanting the moon on a stick but I'd be interested to see what you find.

Trust me, I cant find anything that does directly what I want it to... which is why I've posted this.  I've went as far as napkin-designing an entirely new type of webservice to accomodate it (and I'm essentially giving up IP just mentioning it).  The paint prog. is of course the sticky part, but it can be done.

I figured it had to exist already so why bother developing it.

I've seen some plugins for Joomla that will do some basic image editing stuff like crop, resize, rename and such, but nothing on the scale of what you are talking about (the paint program). There may be a Wordpress plugin for that but I haven't heard of it. Wordpress is definitely what I'd recommend otherwise.

That's the vibe I'm getting, thanks.  Wordpress or Joomla plugins.  If I fail, then a custom site.

Evernote has sketchpad now, but it is more of a personal note organizer not a publishing platform (it pretty much meets all of your other criteria).

No drawing capabilities (I don't think) but I find this tool really good for every day stuff, so someone else might too.

Extension for Firefox/Chrome and nice app for iPad/Android.

Not sure this will work, but you might be able to see my stuff: http://springpadit.com/crawfoco

These services are nice and all, and even have publishing and commentable blogging, but it's only on their (sub)domain.  I'd have to build an API that'd parse the (allowable) info. I put on their service and then publish it on my own site... then add all the other stuff.  Hmmm, I must channel my inner Zuckerberg.  Or, I could just have a redirect.

Amazing how a simple website plugin magically transforms into a paid service.  

edit:
Looks like I could also do a standard blog and then embed the notebook service.
Zoho Notebook looks promising.

And this one looks promising though it costs $8: http://codecanyon.net/item/wp-paint-wordpress-live-picture-editor/273542

Photo touch up widgets have come a long way in the last 3 years.  I remember digging around for something similar to what snapfish has and I could not even find a decent paid solution for it, now there are tons of options free and paid.

I have used the regular cacoo a few times and it is pretty nifty.

Why does it need to be an all-in-one? Missing that. Why not a good paint/sketch program and be happy with a good uploader in an otherwise full-featured blogging platform? Cause if that was ok, WordPress is pretty much it.

Because it's collaborative and I want to make it easy for the subscribers.
It's cool, because I've found a free commentable drawing plugin that'll work pretty well.  Aside from that, zoho is by far the best free solution if I can get the embed to work w/o much problem.  The latter is perfect for moving my IPs online so I can work on em from anywhere and not fear loss.  I can then make them public/private as needed within the blog.
