Blogo 1.1 emerges from Brainjuice

Attention all bloggers! The nerd bunnies at Brainjuice have just released Blogo 1.1, the latest take on their Mac OS X blogging tool. Blogo 1.1 now includes support for Drupal and Twitter in addition to WordPress, Blogger, TypePad, typo, and MovableType.

The new Twitter support allows users to post tweets and direct messages from Blogo, and can even send a tweet whenever you post. Brainjuice has fixed some existing issues, as well as adding these new features:
  • Support for raw image formats
  • Integration with NetNewsWire and Safari
  • Use of Growl for all user notifications
  • New text formatting options (quotes, lists, aligned, justified)
  • Custom cropping of thumbnails independently of the full-size images
To give Blogo 1.1 a try, download a 21-day unlimited trial or purchase the app for $25.

I've been using Blogo for quite a while now, since version 1.0 came out, and this new version is working perfectly for me.
I specially love the microblogging (twitter) integration.

I can't get past the 'log into my blog' part. Keep getting a 'Error 500' message.

Has anyone used both this and the current leader, MarsEdit? I'd be interested to hear what advantages Bloggo might have, other than a better name.

I just downloaded it and it still won't get past the "enter your blog's url" page.

MattFM and BabyGotMac: We had a bad build go out today which has been fixed and can be downloaded or updated via "File > Check for updates..."

The issues you both describe have been fixed. Our apologies for the crashes.

Thanks Steven for the review, and we hope you enjoy Blogo as we continue to improve it.

I just downloaded the app and it works great. This is a great little tool.

It looks nice, but it's hard to buy blogging software from a company that doesn't have a blog...

Is the icon an homage to Matt Groening's "Life In Hell" comic strip?

Steven, I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest you haven't tried using the software before recommending it to us. As the previous comment suggested, this software is very buggy. It's crashed three times within 2 minutes trying to do simple tasks like adding an account and deleting an account. I didn't get anywhere near using it to do the job it was made to do before getting frustrated and zapping it.

The interface does look lovely, and I'm sure once the bugs are ironed out, it'll be a great programme, but the bugs I encountered are so basic, I'm surprised this software is on general release. I'm even more surprised TUAW are recommending it.

Same here. Simply doesn't work.

As a user of Blogo, I'm very happy to see this release.

The honest fact is that as it has been up until this point, Blogo simply doesn't work. It is buggier then hell, with less features, and spotty uploading compared to the native Wordpress setup. I quickly learned it was much worse to use Blogo then a simple web browser.

Here is hoping this makes me not regret my purchase. It is a beautiful piece of software visually, now I hope to see it act that way...
