BlogJet Blog

I really love such words from users:

“I've been slacking in the blog department lately, but not because I don't have anything to say, complain about, or brag about.  There's plenty of that - I just haven't had one critical piece of software, BlogJet.

Do you miss those SAT-style analogies?  Here's one for you… BlogJet : Blogging :: Word Processing : Letters.  Blogging without BlogJet? Just not worth it. Ok, enough of that and onto the meaty stuff…”

Thanks, Paul!

Chris R. posted a nice review of BlogJet. Read it. 

The plugin I posted yesterday is also compatible with NewsGator and other aggregators that support IBlogExtension interface.

Details here.

Finally, I did it – a plugin to integrate RSS Bandit and BlogJet. If you’re using RSS Bandit to read feeds and BlogJet to post to your blog, this plugin is a must-have. It adds a new item to Bandit’s right-click menu – “BlogJet This!”. Click it and it will lanch BlogJet with the content of selected item.

Installation instructions and download.

Other news: I’m feeling much better now and continue coding the next version of BlogJet which, probably, will be available in the late October. I made a lot of promises about that version, so that it takes a lot of time to implement all the planned features:

• Extended entries.
• Excerpt and keywords.
• Trackbacks.
• Manual setting of post date/time.
• Easier account switching.
• Typograhic characters.
• Image resizing and thumbnails (not yet completed).

After BlogJet 1.2 release I want to have shorter release cycles, and one here’s the first step: I won’t make promises any more . In other words, I’ll apply Mouth Wide Shut policy by Joel Spolsky.

New banners are available now: http://blogjet.com/link/. By the way, they include the new logo.

Matt Hawley writes about Micro Mode feature in BlogJet:

Now a new window will open up that is semi-translucent that allows you to type a blog post in the corner of your screen so that your co-workers or boss can't see it without looking hard for it.
