A few weeks ago,  Ben asked What do you use to write blog entries?  This post, along with a need to rapidly publish to our LinkBlog, got me looking into blogging tools.  I’ve settled on using BlogJet.  In fact, I like it so much, that I’ve managed get copies for all of the bloggers here at CodeBetter.Com.. Not sure how many of us are using it yet, but I have a feeling that it’ll catch on..

What’s so cool about it?  For one thing, it works with a bunch of weblog services (Blogger, DasBlog, MovableType, .Text, Blogger API, MetaWeblog API). For another, you can setup multiple blogs to publish to, so that you can easily switch back and forth if you publish to multiple blogs.  But, the coolest thing (IMO) is that it adds a “BlogJetThis” extension to FireFox, and IE, so that you can select content, right-click the selection and choose “BlogJetThis” from the context menu.

This will launch BlogJet, with the text that you’ve highlighted, and also title your post and create a hyperlink (think Scoble’s link blog).

One click and your post is published!  I don’t really know if it can get any easier.  In the interest of fairness, I should mention that we’re getting our copies license free (licenses normally cost $39.95), but I think I’d be using it and blogging about it anyway.  It really is that good.
