w.bloggar v3.01 released

Now I can tell you about all the new features included on this release! The most interesting among all is the integration between w.bloggar and Windows Media Player 9 Series. Yes! now you just have to install the today released WMP 9 Series Blogging Plug-In (Get it here ») and start to post with the information about the music or video currently being played automatically added to your blog! To better understand this feature check this article »

The most important changes since version 3.0 are:

» Support to add Media Information on posts using the WMP 9 Series Blogging Plug-In.
» Better control on Preview formatting, now you can use a CSS file and disable the line-break conversion to <BR> tag.
» The F12 key now is the shortcut to toggle Preview mode.
» New Custom tags in addition to the existing ones can be accessed using Ctrl+F9 to Ctrl+F12 keys.
» New Option to allow open the Web pages using your default browser
» Support to the "Extended Entry" field on MovableType blogs thru the special tags <more_text></more_text>, is a good idea to add it as Custom Tag if you often use the "Extended Entry".
» Now the last blog used on an account is recorded and automatically selected the next time that a login is made on that account.
» New supported tools: PostNuke and EraBlog.NET.

As for the extended entry in MT, are those the correct tags? I've tried combinations of the opening and closings specified above and it doesn't work for me. Is there a setting in wbloggar or MT that I am missing?

There was an error on the closing tag, now it's correct. But to these tags work make sure you have the w.bloggar 3.01 and MT 2.63 installed.

This is so cool! Quite a few of the Windows-running people on my team blog are using w.Bloggar so I'll be sure to bump them over here. (It's also forcing me to get off my bum and upload the updated MT installation, I'm still using 2.51!)

Any chance of support for grabbing information from Winamp in a future release? :) I use Winamp more than I use WMP9 since Winamp eats up less memory, so...

I agree with Yoshi.. Winamp support would be GREAT! :) Great job on the update! I love the program...

Thanks for the heads up on the tags. Also, I am using MT 2.62 and not 2.63. Anyhow, thanks for the info. Much appreciated and keep up the great work :)

Thanks Marcelo, I just tried out 3.01 with MT 2.63 and the Extended Entry tags worked great :)

As suggested above, Winamp 2.91 support would be fantastic, I only use WMP9 to play video, never audio. :)

Keep up the good work :)

the install is a bit of a nightmare if you don't install the old version first, prompting you first to keep files, and then overwriting files - shouldn't it be the same for all the files?

I just found this tool and I really like it. But I have to agree with the others that say it needs Winamp support. That would make it perfect for me and many others I'd wager. Good stuff though.

So still no more support for Nucleus, even if you use Nucleus on your site!? ;-)

Hmmm... MS seems to think that w.bloggar works with LiveJournal... I wish it did... any chance it will sometime soon?

Unfortunately, you can only use the Media Player piece if you have XP...So only from home for me. Darn it.

Only one little complaint - clicking on the "Open w.bloggar site" link in the Help menu doesn't respect the system's default browser and opens it in IE. You should have it open in the default browser.

Otherwise, great product! I love it!

Nice program. Found it via Steven's Notebook.

Anyway, I've found one thing that would be nice to have in the program - when selecting an image, it would be nice to have a "browse" button, as I don't always know the path/filename of an image I want to add to my blog.

Otherwise, thanks for a great program!

I second GerenM's suggestion but with a slight change. The dialog should say insert image or file (change of icon might be in order) and present choices similar to the Upload dialog depending on whether the file to be embedded is an image or non-image. The idea is if the file is not yet on the server then use the Upload, if it's already there then use the Insert Image/File.

If extended entry is supported, would it also be possible to have a tag set for the excerpts? Normally, they're just the first so many words of the entry, but I use them to insert avatars. If it's possible, I would love this...w.bloggar would defintely become my tool of choice.

You know what I would love? I would love the capability for MT blogs to TrackBack Ping any post using w.bloggar and also, to put a post in more than one category, that would really do it for me.

w.bloggar has really made my blogging life great. Keep up the good work. A suggestion for the next version: it would be really nice to have a "substitutions" or "alias" list that could be stored user-side. So, for example, if I typed "w.bloggar is a great tool" when I posted the message, the alias list would replace "w.bloggar" with, say, the link to w.bloggar's homepage.

Great piece of software!

Suggestion: add the w.bloggar icon to the system tray and just hide the window when the close button is clicked.

that way people can keep it constantly running. that way, if a idea hits them, they can blog immediately instead of waiting for the program to start up.
