BlogJet is mentioned in Law Practice magazine (Volume 32 Number 3, Page 42):
“This free (for 30 days, I guess? – D.C.) utility allows you to draft your blog posts without opening a browser. Just download it to your laptop and you can blog while you’re on the road.”

A few days ago guys from Textpattern announced the XML-RPC API for this excellent content management system, so now you can post to your Textpattern blogs (or sections) from BlogJet.
1. Download and install XML-RPC “plug in”.
2. In BlogJet create new account with the following settings:
Provider: WordPress (yes, you read it right)
Host: your blog’s domain
Page: /rpc
Specify your TextPattern login and password, select a blog and that’s it!
They currently don’t support direct image upload, so you also have to specify your FTP settings if you want to upload pictures.
The next version of BlogJet will have native “TextPattern” selection in providers list.
(BTW, the new version of our website, which will be available soon, uses TextPattern as CMS).

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!

(This entry was posted on May 29, 2004 in the old blog.)
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?
