BlogJet has a new version out (1.6.1 build 55). Unfortunately, it still doesn’t fix the bug I had reported several months ago with the last version, which makes it essentially unusable for posting images. It has a feature that lets you upload pictures just by adding them to your entry, then it gets uploaded when you publish. The bug is that it mangles the URL at post time when posting to Movable Type. I have it configured to post in <http://www.mohea.com/mike/words/images/>. It uploads the file correctly, but then drops the trailing slash from the URL, so I end up with something like <http://www.mohea.com.mike/words/imagesfoo.jpg>.
The spell checker also still has the bug where it can’t deal with apostrophes. For example, if it seems the word “Nathan’s”, it suggests “Nathan+'s”. You can click ‘Add’ on “Nathan’s”, but it won’t help – the next time it sees “Nathan’s”, it will once again say that it’s not recognized and suggest “Nathan+'s”.
I’m pretty disappointed in this update and the bugs it still has. I think it’s time to find a new blog editing program.
