I’m in process of moving blogjet.com to another host. I will post details soon. If you can’t access the website, try blogjet.ORG instead. Sorry for inconvenience.

Another feature of the upcoming version of BlogJet is protection for your work.

…it happens. With all these bugs in firewalls, unreliable proxies, Windows bugs, maybe BlogJet bugs, there is a small, very small chance that BlogJet freezes when publishing your post.

Upcoming version of BlogJet has the protection against this. Now when you click “Publish”, BlogJet saves your work. And if it freezes, just terminate it. The next time you lauch BlogJet, it will ask you if you want to restore your work:

WordPress.com is open to public! And it’s free.

Here’s the tip on how to post pictures to your WordPress.com with BlogJet 1.5/1.6 beta 1: when creating account in BlogJet, select “Movable Type API” instead of “WordPress”.

Provider: Movable Type API
Host: yourname.wordpress.com
Page: /xmlrpc.php

Update: Matt says they opened it for a bit.

This feature is so cool that I can’t wait to show it to you. The upcoming release of BlogJet will have Auto Replace feature:

You can assign a text to any word you type and the will be replaced with it.

For example, I have a HTML code assigned for “BlogJet”: <a href=”http://blogjet.com”>BlogJet</a>. When I type BlogJet… bang! It’s being replaced with a link.

Or – see this Chitika keyword? When I type Chitika it’s being replaced with my affiliate link to this system.

Oh, what if you create a keyword for “Apple” to replace it with “Microsoft”?  
This will be useful for Scoble now: if he created a rule for “Microsoft”, “Yahoo” and “Google” to replace with “I promised not to write about it”…

P.S. BlogJet 1.6 will be released soon.

There was a 3–day holiday in Russia (Day of Nation Unity or something like this – they change the name every 2 years, agrrh!). I’m feeling OK  and back to work. My inbox is filled with mail, so if you sent me a letter please be patient – I’ll answer you soon.

Steve Pavlina launches his Million Dollar Experiment. Wow! Good luck, Steve!

Maybe I’ll try this experiment too, huh? It would be fun, I think 

Update: And I'm trying :)

Can you please tell me which Zoom button you like more?

 

Update: I enabled anonymous comments, so please comment on this.

“For those of you who do blogging on this website, I foremost would like to thank you for your wonderful and inspirational writings. Many of you could have easily been writers by trade. I admire it so much.

If you do have a blog here or anywhere else really. There is a very nice blogging tool available. I have tried a few different blog software applicatiosn and though i would share my favorite one with you. It is called BlogJet.

Rather than wasting your time with images here, I will just give the link to the screenshots here.

It is a very powerful tool, and it makes blogging actually easier than writing a forum post. Excellent support for images too, and wrapping text around the images.

It is software that you must buy. However there are many places to get a key generator for it. Not that I am endorsing pirated software, but I know sometimes it simply can not be afforded and a key generator will usually buy you the extra month or so until you do have the money to buy the program. I can not honestly say that I do not use keygens, but I can honestly say that if the software is worth the money I will purchase the asking price. I have bought this, it is that good.

This software is so self contained that you can type your blog right from your desktop with no browser and publish whenever you are ready, great for those who write only a little a day, or want extra time to edit without using their browser and being connected to the internet.

I really hope you at least give it a shot, if you don't care for it, I will still be happy you tried it out. I happen to prefer this software over traditional blogging and postings and I am sure most of you will too.”

That made my day. Thanks!

WordPress.com is a new hosted blogging service from WordPress creators (it’s currently in closed beta).

Configuring BlogJet to work with it is very easy:

Provider:  WordPress
Host: yourname.wordpress.com
Page: /xmlrpc.php

Where yourname is your account name (just write your blog’s URL in Host).

Keep blogging!

Here’s a rumor I read on some Russian blog:

Sergey Brin (Google co-founder) is a nice guy. But he’s not the real owner of Google. Google is the project of US National Security Agency, which conceal an Internet division of NSA called “Echelon”. “Public” Google as we know it takes only 1% of the whole capacity [so 99% are for military purposes].

Cool. Oh, now I think it’s Al Gore who invented Google as well.

P.S. Do you want a rumor about Microsoft and Bill Gates?

Blogger.com is implementing captcha to prevent creating splogs (spam weblogs). That means if you post to Blogger with BlogJet, you’ll have to logon to your Blogger web admin panel and type in some numbers from picture.

You will not be forced to enter these numbers every time you publish a post – AFAIK, only sometimes. However, there seems to be a bug that makes you pass through the validation process each time you post. Blogger developers know about this and will fix the bug soon.

Today’s the day of the first show here.

I like snow because it makes me sit at home and program BlogJet . There will be 4 months of this…
