Blogjet 2.0 released

If you're a blogger, check the excellent Blogjet coded by Dmitry, released today in version 2.0. A lot of new features, a new company too, Coding Robots.

Top 5 new features include:

  • New user interface. It is easier, more complete, and has themes (looks native on Vista).
  • Post management with local cache. Your posts are stored in local cache, so you don’t need Internet connection to access them anymore.
  • Instant search. Finding posts is easier because of the instant search, which shows results as you type.
  • Tags. Finally, you can tag your posts easily. No more plugins, no more hacks. And if your blog platform supports tags natively (currently only Movable Type 3.3 or later), BlogJet can use them.
  • Blog autodiscovery. No more troubles with finding the right API settings — just enter your blog’s address, and BlogJet will configure itself.
  • …and many more.

BlogJet is now more stable and launches faster. All know bugs have been fixed. It now works with new Blogger and we fixed the issue with Live Spaces.
