I have installed a potentially interesting application – BlogJet. I used BlogDesk for a while but was generally underwhelmed by the formatting it generated, so I’m giving BlogJet its 30”“day evaluation period to either impress me or follow its predecessor into oblivion.

If nothing else, the software is prettier than anything else I’ve looked at in its category. Seriously.

There are also some pleasant features for WordPress users, such as the ability to retrieve X-number of recent posts for editing, cross-linking, tagging and such. (Yes, I could start using Technorati tags. I don’t know if I will, though, ”˜cause if I start down that road then I’ll want to go through the entire archive and just, no. Ugh.) One can natively drop in Flickr and YouTube material, but that’s not terribly useful to me at present since I don’t patronize those services. Someday, maybe.

Will this revolutionize the way I post to my journal? Will it at least spur me to post more often? I have no idea. I just like playing with stuff. I am, after all, a geek-dilettante.

(Now to find out what breaks when I click the “Publish” button)

(Uploading. Go figure. I think it has to do with some WordPress settings but I could be wrong.)

(Yes, it was the WordPress setting. Fixing that made uploading work, though the filename the picture ended up with isn’t quite what I had in mind. Oh well. Not bad for a first attempt, only requiring two edits to make everything happy.)
