Example: let's say I write a post in japanese, BUT for SEO purposes I want the permalink to be 1) in english 2) add some additional keywords. In other words, I want to be able to edit permalinks of my posts the way I want them BEFORE posting. How do I do this in BJ? No way that I know of :/</p> <p>Until this is implemented, a lot of foreign users (at least those who understand the very basic seo) won't be able to blog effectively.</p> <p>ONLY because BJ lacks this feature I have to keep blogging from the browser :/</p> BJ has still no vital functions that ALL foreign users needs: permalink editing before posting.

Until this is implemented, a lot of foreign users (at least those who understand the very basic seo) won’t be able to blog effectively.

ONLY because BJ lacks this feature I have to keep blogging from the browser :/

The easiest way for now is to get a free WordPress.com blog, which requires just going to http://en.wordpress.com/signup/ and filling in 4 text fields :)</p> This is a great suggestion, and I thought about doing something like this, however I couldn’t think of a way to provide the test blog without various problems with it.

Where you can try the product without telling it about your blog. Maybe you should run your own test blog where everyone may post something.</p> I believe you’d better to add some kind of the demo mode.
