Posting To Your Blog , Screenshots , Lifestreaming and Cool Tools You will love Using
Do you think Lifestreaming is here to stay ? Stay for more than 5 weeks that is ? The end result is gorgeous though
Part One
“I have installed an interesting application – BlogJet. It’s a cool Windows client for my blog tool (as well as for other tools). Get your copy here: http://blogjet.com”
"Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid; humans are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant; together they are powerful beyond imagination." — Albert Einstein
What you see above is the default post for BlogJet. It does not post that automatically but its what you see when you open up BlogJet for the first time.
Yes, I’m afraid its True. I’m cheating on Windows Live Writer. I was running around looking for lighter software to use. I came across Blog Jet . It wonderful. Its not free though. There were a few others that were recommended to me. I could have sworn I had bookmarked them. Can’t seem to find them. Will mention them when I do.
A little Windows Live Writer tip
Was having trouble getting Windows Live Writer to work with WordPress initially. That was the day I first downloaded it. I just wanted to share how I got it to work with my WordPress Blogs. It wasn’t detecting anything initially. Here’s what you have to do.
When you’re asked to enter the web address of your blog, enter the same address you would have to enter to log in to your Blog. What I mean by that is
Example – http://yourwordpressblog.com is the location of your WordPress Blog
to login via the admin login you’d type
http://yourwordpressblog.com/wp-admin <— this is what you have to enter when asked for the web address of your blog. You will have to replace “yourwordpressblog.com” with the name of your blog.
Everything else should go along like Clockwork. Hope that makes sense. Seeing as how everyone running WordPress is bound to run into this problem , I thought I’d share it.
Make Screenshots
More than anything this blog post is about amazing apps and add ons and thingamagits you see the cool people using in the Blogosphere and everywhere else. Yes, looking pretty or handsome while Blogging or Internet Marketing is a Good Idea. It scores points with a lot of People. I don’t mean that looking pretty part literally but that would help too I imagine.
On the Left is a picture of my screen usually referred to as a screenshot. Sometimes you’ll feel the need to share an image of your screen or while performing an action or simply running a program. I use a program called ScreenHunter 5.1 Free. It is free and very flexible. You don’t have to take a snapshot of the entire screen if you don’t want to. Its a really great program and you can get it here.
Its Freeware and can run in the background . Great stuff , absolutely love it and use it regularly for all sorts of strange purposes.
Another Screenshot of my desktop. That wallpaper looks awesome. I don’t remember where I got that from though. But it looks cool. So here’s the link if you would like to download the program.

Its free and quite intuitive. You shouldn’t have any problems using it.
Downloading Videos Via Firefox and Getright
Ever found yourself wanting to download one of those tutorials. The ones that were made with Camtasia. This pretty much works with everything. It also works with Camtasia videos. Now I’m not suggesting you go and break the law whenever possible. Every now and then I’d find myself subscribed to a site with videos. I’d want to download those videos because I’m not perpetually online and would want them available offline . Thats where the Flashgot and any well known download manager comes in handy.
First you’ll need Firefox. Firefox is a browser like Internet Explorer. Secondly you’ll need what are known as add-ons. Add-ons are plug ins for firefox. What you need is the add-on called Flashgot. Lastly you need a download manager called Getright. There are quite a few you could use. Flash Get is another program you could use instead of Getright. 
So basically you need
1. Firefox
2. Getright or Flash Get
3. Flashgot
Install them in that order and you should have them working.
As Always
Have a Great Day
