Forum member boltyboy reported that TypePad fixed “Post as draft” issue:
“Yeah, that only took 6 months!
As far as I can see both the post as draft AND the post and publish with delayed time (set in the Blogjet properties tab) are now working properly!
YEAH! This has taken way too long, but it now makes Blogjet and Typepad totally in synch!”
Thanks, boltyboy. Thanks, TypePad!

If you’re not satisfied with the way BlogJet inserts text when you click BlogJet This! button in Internet Explorer, you can change the template for this action.
The default template is:
<p><a href=”{$ .URL $}”>{$ .Title $}</a></p>
<p><em>{$ .Text $}</em></p>
and in WYSIWYG editor it shows as:
BlogJet
BlogJet is a desktop blogging application that greatly simplifies posting to your blog. It is user-friendly, easy to use and elegant.
If you want to change the template, find C:\Program Files\BlogJet\Data\Templates\blogthis.htm file and edit it. Here are a few variables that you can use:
{$ .URL $} - page URL
{$ .Title $} - page title
{$ .Text $} - selected text
Let’s change the default template to:
<p>Check this out:</p>
<blockquote>{$ .Text $}</blockquote>
<p>(via <a href="{$ .URL $}">{$ .Title $}, {$ .URL $}</a>)</p>
Now if you click BlogJet This! you’ll get the following layout:
Check this out:

Let’s play the game called “How many toolbar button types and sizes are in 2007 Office?” See screenshots.
Since there are many third-party programs that copy Office’s look & feel, I wonder, how many different GUI styles we’ll have for different programs when Windows Vista arrives? Let’s count:
- Old-style Win95-like GUIs
- Win95-like WinXP-themed GUIs (e.g. WordPad)
- WinXP Internet Explorer-like GUIs (e.g. BlogJet 1.x)
- Office 97-XP-like flat-toolbar GUIs
- Office 2003-like GUIs
- Totally skinned GUIs (e.g. Winamp)
…
n-1. 2007 Office-like GUIs
n. Vista-like GUIs (is it consistent, after all? Will WordPad have the same toolbar as Windows Explorer?)
What do you think?

Tablet PC Actually Works:
“All my Mac friends are going to have an heart attack, because I am about to say something even I did not expect myself to say: I like Tablet PC!
[…]
Thanks to Activewords, Feed Demon and BlogJet, I have been able to do all the familiar tasks with remarkable ease.”

I received numerous reports about various “access violation” error messages and “Are you sure?” message when you launch BlogJet (Update: Please note that I’m not talking about ANY access violation message).
Why?
BlogJet, like almost every other shareware application, is protected using name and registration key. When you purchase it, you receive your personal registration key (and optional CD). Then you use this key to unlock BlogJet and make it full version.
Of course, there are people who crack software and give away unlicensed keys (and key generators). Like every other software developer, I my protect application from these pirated keys. For example, when I discover pirated keys, I block them. So if these keys worked for previous versions, they stop working in current release.
“Are you sure? (Exception)” message followed by “access violations” are only showed when you’re using pirated keys.
I deliberately wrote a few lines of code which break BlogJet when it had been pirated. It doesn’t make anything destructive, just prevents BlogJet from working. People who use legal version are not affected with this.
What to do?
I’m forgiving. I’m giving you a way to become a legal user:
1. Uninstall your pirated version.
2. Purchase a license.
3. Install BlogJet again.
A few more words…
I seriously disappointed with the fact that people expect support from me while using pirated versions. Like Nick Bradbury said: “It never ceases to amaze me when people not only steal from me, but also expect me to spend my time answering their questions.”
