Al Nye has a review of BlogJet in his blog. Thanks!

Terry Whalin has a great article “Chase Better Not New”:

…I want to work smarter and more effective. Some times, that means using a proven tool to become better. For example, I’m using BlogJet to write this post to my blog. It’s a proven tool which has been around and gives me flexibility to not write my post online…

As I mentioned in the previous post, we’re contributing to the Weblog Awards for the second year.

BlogJet sponsors IndiBlog Awards: winners of IndiBlog of the year, IndiBlog with the best tagline and Best IndiPhotoBlog will receive a copy of BlogJet.

With this Awards, I continue my support for different competitions among bloggers – the first one was Weblog Awards 2004 last year.

We’re almost ready to release the new version of BlogJet. I decided to change the upcoming version number from 1.2 to 1.5 since it has a lot of improvements over 1.1 (and to match FeedDemon’s version  ).

I also decided to raise the price, so if you’re evaluating the trial version, don’t wait until it expired, buy now for a low price.

Update: BlogJet 1.5 is the free update for registered users.

Meet the new build of BlogJet – it’s now release candidate. This build brings new level of security for blog clients – it can use secure (SSL) protocol to communicate with servers (if you don’t use it, your password can be sniffed, since it’s being transmitted as plain text).

Most popular services support SSL (e.g. TypePad), so if you have an account in BlogJet, edit it and tick “Use SSL” checkbox.

This feature will also enable MSN Spaces support as soon as they implement an API via SSL.
