Blog Roll

I've been using BlogJet for about a month now. If you don't know, BlogJet is a Windows-based blog publishing tool. At first, I didn't like BlogJet that much, primarily because the documentation wasn't very good and getting it set up wasn't as straight-forward as I thought it should have been. In fact, although BlogJet provides support forums, I found out how to set it up properly for .Text by searching around on the Internet. This really turned me off at first because I felt like a for-pay application should provide better documentation on how to get it set up (although, admittedly, $20 isn't an extravagant price for an application). I tried other tools, notably Visual Blogger and w.bloggar, but Visual Blogger's in the early beta stages, and w.bloggar wasn't any easier to use than BlogJet. I went back to BlogJet and have actually been fairly pleased with it now that it's set up properly. It doesn't have any frills and still has some shortcomings, but it does the job better than other tools that I've used. The interface is easy to use and the functionality is solid. At this point, I haven't seen anything that's any easier to use, although I'm keeping an eye on Visual Blogger because I think that it has potential. $20 isn't a bad deal for BlogJet, so if you're looking for a blog-publishing tool for posting to a .Text blog, you might want to check out BlogJet.

Another tool you (any someone else who may not wish to spend the money) may want to keep in mind is Sauce Reader. It's primary function is an RSS aggregator, but it's also got a blog publishing function built in that actually works *really* nicely. The configuration was a bit tedious at first as well, but once I figured out how to point it to my blogs metablogapi.asmx it works just fine. Just another option to keep in mind.
