BlogJet 1.6 (will be released soon) will have the advanced Insert Link window.
First of all, you can assign titles to your links (Jacob Nielsen would love it! See Weblog Usability: The Top Ten Design Mistakes, 4th mistake). Title attribute usually shows up as a hint in visual browsers: try me.
Secondly, you can use rel attribute. In blogs this attribute is mostly used in two ways:
). Get ready to better linking with BlogJet 1.6!

When posting with BlogJet, some blogging platforms didn’t send pings to web sites in their default ping list (for example, WordPress). To ping these sites, you had to type in the URLs manually. The upcoming version of BlogJet will have Default Ping URLs list:
and you’ll have an option to ping web sites in this list when sending your posts.

OK, not funny anymore. 
Robert Scoble couldn’t get WordPress.com upload feature to work…
Dave Winer wrote: “Lots of food for thought in my meeting on Saturday with Nick Denton. They’re big users of blogging software at Gawker, and Nick has a lot to say about where it should be going. One thing he says should be easier is images.”…
Isn’t it easy already? Did you try BlogJet? It easy, very easy to insert images in your posts with BlogJet: as easy as in Microsoft Word.
If your blogging platform supports MetaWeblog’s API method to upload files, you already have this feature. If not, just configure your FTP server. And Flickr integration coming soon…
(Here’s a tip on how to configure BlogJet to post images to WordPress.com without using FTP).

There are a lot of improvements of the Insert Image window in the upcoming version of BlogJet. First of all, one of the most requested feature… ta-da-da-dam!..
BlogJet 1.6 will come with free Flickr plugin that’s integrated into Insert Image window:
Type in your login, click “Get Photos” and receive your four recently uploaded pictures. You can click Next or Previous buttons to get more pictures, or select a photo to insert it to your post. Layout and Picture Size options are available for Flickr photos too.
Next improvement: Save as default checkbox. If you select it, BlogJet will save your layout settings (and Flickr login), and the next time you open this window you won’t have to enter them again. Flickr plugin shares the same default settings with File/Web pictures.
Finally, see this small magnifier icon on image? Now when you create thumbnail in BlogJet, it automatically inserts this icon to distinguish thumbnails from ordinary pictures. Thanks everyone for voting for this icon (if you voted for a diffferent variant, I’ll make it downloadable so that you can customize this icon).
Thanks to everyone who suggested these cool features! BlogJet 1.6 will be available very very soon.

Another feature of the upcoming version of BlogJet is protection for your work.
…it happens. With all these bugs in firewalls, unreliable proxies, Windows bugs, maybe BlogJet bugs, there is a small, very small chance that BlogJet freezes when publishing your post.
Upcoming version of BlogJet has the protection against this. Now when you click “Publish”, BlogJet saves your work. And if it freezes, just terminate it. The next time you lauch BlogJet, it will ask you if you want to restore your work:
