BlogJetThis Extension for FireFox

This is a very early attempt at writing a FireFox extension that replicates the “BlogJet This!” button in IE. It has been fun to spend time on something that has absolutely nothing to do with work, writing, or even the technologies that I use. I can’t remember the last time I stayed up till 3 AM trying to get something to work. Mozilla has a pretty interesting design, working with XUL and javascript has been interesting.

To use this extension you must:

1) Download and install it.

2) Have BlogJet installed and in the C:\Program Files\BlogJet directory. (I will make this customizable later)

Once you have it installed you can then:

1) Select the text you want to blog and copy it to the clipboard. (I will automate this next)

2) Right-Click and click BlogJetThis. This will open Blogjet and copy the title and url over.

This is pretty untested as I just whipped it together tonight, so use at your own risk. (All feedback would be greatly appreciated though)
