“For me, it’s a matter of productivity. It’s far easier for me to type the content, highlight it and hit a hot key to insert the necessary tag.

Using the auto replace feature, I’d need to define a variable for the heading tag, then I’d need to go back and actually write my title.”

Teli – this pretty much sums it up for me. I couldn’t agree more. Great post.

I seem to be the only one missing the point here….why pay for something like this when you can use wordpress for free?

I am thinking the idea is that you are supposed to be able to do all your writing from your desktop and just upload it to your blog but really, even without any experience with it, I think that would take just as long as logging into your wp account and just blogging.

Am I missing something here?

Nice review, I agree with Vic.

Go with Live Writer, you can’t beat free

You know, there is another consideration here. You can just build your own blogging management system yourself, or have one built for you. The backbone is all via remote procedure call and XML… It is a little hard to find documentation on them, but they are around… I know there are awesome tools around, like what you cover here, but I like to have total control and for that, there’s nothing better than writing your own software.

I have yet to go with a blogging desktop management application like BlogJet, although I have read a lot about others like Live Writer. The latter being free would be something I’d probably try first rather than BlogJet, but honestly, from your review, the price offered for BlogJet is quite reasonable. Might have to consider it seriously in the near future.

Hello Teli
A good review. I purchased blogjet several months ago for our new SEO blog, but as yet not used it so checking this review was very useful.

P.S. You can bet you bottom dollar I will be making sure trackback is not available in the blog.

Regards,
David

BlogJet suits all my needs, beyond a shadow of a doubt, and I like how the theme blends into my workstations other applications like MS Word, MS Outlook, and Fast Blog Finder.

I’ll see if it works for me. There’s no harm in trying, although if I go with the review, I’d say it’s not as cost-effective as it should be.

Hi Digi, I used the demo version to write my review, so didn't actually pay for it. For me personally, I switched to WLW and have stuck with it because it's being actively developed and has most of the features I need. (It does have its quirks, though.) One benefit of BlogJet over WLW is how it handles sound recording/upload. It could be a slight time saver for bloggers who wish to record and upload a bit of sound with each post. Is that worth it? Not my place to say; it's an individual choice. And in case anyone else is curious, I've written a Windows Live Writer Review (and follow up). ~ Teli
