Blog posting software: Anyone on BlogJet 2.0

by DavidAkin on Wed 24 Jan 2007 12:12 PM EST | Permanent Link | Cosmos

I’ve been using BlogJet 1.6.2 to post to this blog and others whenever I’m working on my Windows XP machine. It’s a reliable, stable, if bare-bones product. On my Mac, I’ve been using Ecto. It’s got some features that are different from BlogJet. I’ve been waiting for a stable new release of both apps that allowed me to post here and to my other blog. BlogJet 2.0, out today, apparently has that feature. Anyone given BlogJet 2.0 a whirl yet?

I’m downloading and installing it now so, if all works out well, this will be my last post using BlogJet 1.x.

Hey Dmitry -- while you're here -- how come no Mac version of BlogJet?

And, so far, so good with BlogJet 2.0 -- already some improvements I could suggest:

I love the the "Group Post" function. This lets me post with one click to two or more blogs. But -- unless I'm missing something -- I can't designate "default" categories to post to. In my case, I've got two blogs and each one has a different set of categories. It would be great if I could designate a default set of categories for each blog so that when I "group post", the new post is automatically slotted into each default category at the different blogs.

The new interface is very nice ... nice job, overall ...

No experience with either, sorry.

Am I reading that wrong or do you have two blogs? If so, what is the other one?
