Update: forgot to mention that BlogJet 1.2 is the free update for our customers.

Update 2: for those who changed templates in Data folder – before installing this version, backup your templates, since the installation replaces them.

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!
