I love slogans. It’s official — now BlogJet has its own slogan: “Focus on content”. Any objections?

P.S. I came up with it about a year ago…

Scott Hanselman blogs with Logitech io2 pen using BlogJet.

Wow! I’m happy to announce a very minor update with a major service support – BlogJet 1.6.1 (still Lime, remember? )

I think I’m the first one (two hours after the public announcement)… to release blog client with the native support for MSN Spaces.

NEW FEATURES

• Support for MSN Spaces.
• Saving Flickr login independent of “Save as default” option state.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed duplicating link text when using Insert Link in Code editor.
• Fixed: not deleting draft file after posting (with this option turned on).

Enjoy, Spaces lovers!

Update: make sure you downloaded BlogJet 1.6.1 build 55, since previous versions didn’t work with categories in MSN Spaces. You can click Help > Check for New Version to check this.

I remember a few users requested support for custom smilies. With the new Auto Replace feature you have them.

First off all, you need to disable built-in smilies. Click Tools > Preferences… > Editor and clear “Replace smilies with images” check box.

Secondly, upload your smilies to your host.

Finally, click Tools > Auto Replace…, and assign words and HTML codes for your smilies. For example:

Word: :-)
Replace with: <img src=”http://example.com/smile1.gif” alt=”:)” height=”15” width=”15” />

Done! Now enjoy your custom smilies:

See how Auto Replace is poweful?

I remember a few users requested support for user-defined signatures for posts. With the new Auto Replace feature you have them.

Click Tools > Auto Replace… > Add. Then type in a keyword for your signature, then the signature itself:

Click OK, OK. Now when you finish writing your post, just enter the keyword (e.g. “sign1”) and you’ll get your signature.

OK, seems like I’ve been heard – Blogger’s developers fixed issues with non-English characters. Thanks, guys!

…But titles still don’t work with Cyrillic characters:

Now, could you fix this too, please?

(Thanks to Joakim for letting me know about this.)

A few users asked me what to enter in “Flickr Login” field in BlogJet 1.6. Here’s the answer: use your e-mail (which you use to login to Flickr’s web interface).

I’ve made a few video tutorials for the new Help page.

They cover account creation and editing, configuring FTP settings (this is the most geeky feature), editing recent posts, posting, and using the Auto Replace feature.

Please don’t watch “How to Use Auto Replace” tutorial if you work for Microsoft, OK?
