BlogJet Blog

BlogJet 1.1 has a new feature: you can type a special command-line parameter plus account's name and BlogJet will open this account automatically.

The parameter is:

-acc "Account name"

For example, if you have an account that is called Mike's Blog, then you can create a shortcut on your Desktop with this command:

"C:\Program Files\BlogJet\BlogJet.exe" -acc "Mike's Blog"

and call it something like Post to Mike's blog. Then you can just double-click the icon and it will launch BlogJet with Mike's Blog account opened. This is very useful when you have a lot of accounts and don't want to use the login window.

French and German dictionaries for BlogJet's spell checker are available now: http://blogjet.com/download/spell/

The installation is very simple: just download a file, run it and click Install. The language of spell checker then can be changed in Tools | Preferences… | Spelling tab.

Please tell me if something goes wrong with new dictionaries.
