Testing Blogjet

I host this blog on Typepad and find the Typepad user interface just fine, but for one thing.  It only works when I’m on-line.  So when I want to compose a post while I’m in the Maine woods or on an airplane (most airplanes, with occasional exceptions like this one), I have to compose it in some other application and then copy it into Typepad once I’m reconnected.  There are multiple ways to approach this, but everything I’ve tried ends up with more complex HTML than Typepad wants (and table spacing gets screwed up and so on…), or I give up on the links when I'm composing and add them later, when I’m finally on-line.

So following the lead of Rodrigo Sepúlveda Schulz, I’m trying Blogjet.  It appears to allow me to write posts offline, including HTML, save them locally (as .bjd files) and then post them directly once I’m reconnected.

This is a test! ...

I have the same problem -- but the solution may be easier than switching blog applications. if you compose posts in notepad, sticking in URLs where you need them, they go right in without fancy font or spacing issues.
fwiw. Susan

Thanks Susan! I didn't explain the BlogJet User Interface -- it's very similar to that of TypePad. Notepad certainly works, assuming I have just a few HTML links to type in, but what I was looking for was an off-line version of the TypePad UI. BlogJet is pretty close and, a month later, I find I'm still using it for drafts when I'm offline.
