Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Brainjuice announced today that the official release of Blogo 1.2, its Mac desktop blog editor and Twitter client, is available for download. The application makes blogging on the Mac easy even for those with no knowledge of HTML, and this release adds Expression Engine, a popular content management system, and Ping.fm, a service which updates multiple social networks with a single login, as well as comment moderation using the new API introduced in WordPress 2.7.

 

With Ping.fm, Blogo now supports Tumblr, Livejournal, Facebook, Myspace, Jaiku, and Plurk among others. This version adds lots of features to the blog editor, as well as a number of fixes and improvements to stability in general. Highlights include:

 

HTML Editor:

The editor can now toggle between Rich Text and HTML, combining the ease of use of the classic editor with the flexibility to get into the code and make adjustments when necessary. There is also a preference to turn off inline styles, a welcome addition for those who prefer to keep their blog's HTML clean.

 

Ping.fm:

Users can post status updates via Ping.fm, and accounts can be configured to send a status update whenever an article is published.

 

Expression Engine:

Users can now post to any blog built with Expression Engine, a popular content management system and one of the most requested blog platforms.

 

Comment Moderation:

When used with WordPress 2.7 or higher, Blogo will download unmoderated comments, which can be approved, deleted or marked as SPAM.

 

Twitter Search:

The Microblog viewer was expanded with a tab to search Twitter's archives, useful for doing quick research and following trends. The application also displays the most talked-about keywords at the moment from Twitter's Trends API.

 

Improved Safari Integration:

The application comes with a bookmarklet which can be added to Safari to post videos, slideshows and inline ads directly from Flickr, Picasa, Vimeo, YouTube, Google Adsense, Google Maps, Boo-box, and Blip.fm without copying and pasting HTML.

 

Offline Editing:

Users can write and preview their posts while not connected to the internet, as well as save drafts to a local drive to be published later.

 

Pricing and Availability:

Blogo is available for Mac OS X 10.4 and up as a 21-day unlimited trial, and can be purchased at the Brainjuice store for $25 (USD).
