Desktop blogging software review: BlogJet

Blogjetpic

Though I can’t admit to using all the desktop publishing applications that are available for use, in my opinion there is none finer than BlogJet. As of this writing I’m waiting for a response from Dmitry so I can install BlogJet on another computer of mine. I’m not thrilled about having to use the WordPress engine when I’m on said computer. Something I’m entitled to do because I purchased a single license at the low price of $39.95. They do offer a 30 day trail period for the unsure.

I’m impressed with BlogJet’s clean interface, support, and the software’s options such as tags, timestamp, smiley insertion . I love how I can add hyperlinks and pics with ease. Using BlogJet for me is a complete joy.

If there’s anything I’d file a complain about it would be that BlogJet currently doesn’t support native tags in WordPress, so it posts them as a part of the post body. WordPress doesn’t recognize them there, so it cannot show them in “popular tags”. From what I understand this will be implemented in the next version of BlogJet. Currently native tags work with Movable Type blogs only.

  1. I like BlogJet but would also like to see an update, I use TypePad but have authored nearly all my posts with BlogJet and wouldn’t go back to the TypePad editor. It’s not horrific but BlogJet is much nicer, faster and more reliable as not connection dependent.
