Blogging online directly sometimes deter writing longer posts. After some research I am going to give BlogJet a try. First thing first, configuration is not as easy as it seems. I have my own server installation of wordpress. BlogJet will not auto detect my server. I need to manually configure the account by specifying:

select “WordPress” as the provider
enter my own server name (host), e.g. www.pkshiu.com , without the http part
enter the page as /loft/xmlrpc.php
Wait, it still does not work…

Turned out, I also have to edit my .htaccess file to add the following:


<Files xmlrpc.php>SecFilterInheritance Off</Files>

First Impression

As I am typing this post — I like the very simple interface. Just type! One minor gripe — When you need to insert a link, you have to:

go to the web page you want in your browser
copy the URL from the address bar
go back to blogjet, select the phrase to link
click on the insert link icon
paste the copied URL.

Why can’t BlogJet default the URL to what’s on the clipboard?
