BlogAssist - System menu item to format text on the clipboard to help blog entry.
BlogAssist is a very simple tool. Copy it into your Applications folder (or whereever you want to keep it) before launching it for the first time. When launched, it automatically adds itself to your Startup Items, so you don't need to manually launch it again.
BlogAssist adds a small menu to the right-hand side of the menubar. To use it, copy some text into the clipboard and choose one of the listed options, then paste the result in the desired location. For example, you could copy a URL from a web page, choose the Web Link option, and paste it into a blog comment. Or you could make some text italic, etc. It also includes support for LiveJournal person, community and cut tags.
What's New:
Added a floating window as an optional alternative to using the clipboard and system menu. Simply drag text into one or both of the Value fields, choose an operation from a pop-up menu, and drag the resulting HTML out again. A preview of how the HTML will appear on a web page is also included. Contextual menus and an action menu can be used to copy and paste instead of dragging, if desired.
Added several more operations to the default set.
New default operations are now automatically appended to your operations list.
Added a welcome assistant window to guide first-time users in using the application.
Integrated the license agreement and options into the assistant.
Added About BlogAssist and BlogAssist Help features to the menu, to provide more information and handy access to the BlogAssist website, release notes, and more.
Added a Check for Updates... feature, allowing you to easily find out when a new version is released.
Added a Preferences window, that allows disabling the quit confirmation, and other options.
Added a General Preferences option to allow choosing between four menubar icons.
Moved the Edit Operations window into the new Preferences window and improved it.
Can now delete multiple operations at once.
The quit confirmation panel now appears in front of all other windows, even if the app isn't currently active.
Added a confirmation sheet for the Restore Defaults function in the Preferences window. The confirmation can be disabled or enabled via the General page.
Enhanced the preference to automatically start the app on login to remove any other references to the app, in case you launched BlogAssist when it was in a different location.
Replaced the application icon with one professionally designed by Emily Pfeifer.
BlogAssist is now shareware. People who previously donated for BlogAssist are automatically eligible for a free license.
Built as a Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel architectures.
