We have been working on cranking out some new stuff for everyone. The latest is the Blogger Buddy gadget which allows you to quickly and easily view and post to your blogs on Blogger.com. It’s still a little basic right now, but it gets the job done and done well.

You folks keep putting out the coolest stuff. I love this one!
Every time I mouse over it, it throws and error asking me to debug it. Makes most of the functions not work and those that do keep throwing errors.
I really wanto use it, but it’s a little fresh still.
Your download link (not the link display text) for Blogger Buddy from buildagadget has a typo… the link refers to buidagadget, instead of build.
Jeff, That is very interesting. We haven’t seen an error like that on the gadget thus far, does it give any more details like a line number or error type?
RD, comments are moderated, so don’t worry if it doesn’t take, we’ll see it. Thanks for the heads up, link should be fixed now. 
Jeff, we added a couple try catch statements to the mix, so if you’re up for it, go ahead and re-download the gadget and let us know if you run into any other difficulties.
We also fixed the HTML links in the help section, they should work now.
I like this gadget but have a suggestion and a bug report.
Suggestion > After posting, the SUCCESS is good but leaves me twidling my thumbs. You should have links like “View Blog Now” and “Post Again” and “View Blog List” below it.
Bug > When you use a special character such as an apostrophe in the blog title and then you go to edit it via the Blogger site, it shows the character code. You should fix the interface to interpret these correctly from the start, in html.
Hambone, we’ll look into those.
My Blogger Buddy won’t display my blogs even though I entered in the correct logon info for blogger.com. What gives?
Jose, that’s odd. We’ll have to take a look into that and see if we can replicate the issue.
Very slick indeed, I especially like the fast preview. Tag support would be awesome but it’s not a big issue.
Great work!
i would like support for tags too and a better url tool. gadget is great though.
Hiii …
my Blogger Buddy is working very well
Cheers !!
I’ve been using Blogger Buddy for at least 10 minutes and I really like it
Quick wishlist:
- possibility for BB to collapse to its title bar when not used (would save an awful lot of space)
- tag support
Thanks
I just downloaded the latest version of blogger buddy. Every time I click on it, I get a message asking me to debug it. It says the following:
“Error
A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug?
Line:9
Error: Object expected
——————————————–
I have still been able to use it, although I click on it, choose “no” to debug then click on it again and that action works. If I want to post something I just wrote, I have to do it again….click it, say “no” to debug, then click it again. This would be a gadget I would use often, if it gets the kinks out.
Matt, we’re going to look into that bug for the next update. In the meantime, disabling script debugging in Internet Explorer should fix the problem temporarily.
I’ve been using Blogger Buddy, it’s easy.
Thanks for cool stuff.
