"I love BlogJet"

April 13, 2005 by Dmitry

Glen Mohr:

  • I love that I can add bullets on the fly without having to type in HTML tags
  • I love that I can add color on the fly without having to know that blue is #0000ff
  • I love that I can switch between blogs from a drop down
  • I love that I can choose multiple categories by checking them off in a list
  • I love that I now don’t have to use Internet Explorer to post to my Movable Type blogs since the formatting buttons don’t show up in Firefox
  • I love that when I embed a link in a post I can choose whether it should open in the same window or a new window without having to code target=_

Screenshots!

secretGeek:

There's always a way to include a screen shot, and it's the first thing that people are looking for. Once they've seen your product, then they'll have a place in their mind to store the facts and figures, the features and the detail. They'll have questions, too, and hopefully the writing will answer their questions.

Check out the front page for blogjet. That's better. A screenshot. And best yet — the screen shot takes you to more screenshots. I feel like I know that product now. And if you know a product, well, you start to care about it. It's not just vapour.

That’s because I always liked screenshots and I’m proud of the BlogJet’s interface

By the way, if you ever wondered who is this girl on the screenshot and why she’s not included in BlogJet’s distribution  – this is my girlfriend Tanya.

BlogJet review

Doug Tygar:

The html generated by BlogJet is far more robust than HTML generated by Blogger. It also has a very clean toolbar (although I wish I could add an auto “blockquote” button.)

Yes, Doug, I want this button too. Advanced toolbar is what I’m going to implement in the future versions.

Be remarkable

Seth Godin:

Many in the flak community are trying to turn blogs into just another media outlet. They're not. Instead, they are a terrific home for the remarkable. Make stuff worth talking about first. Then talk about it.
