Nowadays, many web masters make use of various software tools for publishing content on to their blogs. Blog Hatter is one such tool which enables you to post articles to your blog very easily using content from text files.

For this purpose, you have to either draft the content in text file format or make use of readily available PLR content. Moreover, you can also enter the content manually using the full html editor or copy and paste from a Word document into the editor.

With the help of Blog Hatter, you can publish content to blogs created using either Blogger or Wordpress. The software also supports posting on wordpress.com blogs, but you need to use the post via email method.

As soon as you complete the installation of the product, you have to configure a new blog using the wizard prompts. Initially, you have to select the platform type as shown in Figure 1.

The next step is to select whether you want to post the content with the help of the application or through e-mail as shown in Figure 2.

After providing username and password in the next dialog, you will be presented with a message box as shown below.

You will then be presented with the posting interface screen which enables you to import the content and post them directly to the blog as shown in Figure 4.

In order to import articles, you have to select the Import button and browse to the folder where the text files are located as shown in Figure 5. I've erased the directory drive name and folders but it will be available in the application.

As pointed out earlier, you can also copy and paste the content or you can write them manually using the text editor. The posting interface screen after importing of articles will look like as shown in Figure 6

As you can see, it is very easy to edit the content, add tags and select a publication date. It is also possible to edit the title. The next step is to schedule the content for publication to the blog by selecting Publish button. The article(s) will be queued to the posting engine as shown in Figure 6

Figure 7

In order to post the content to the blog, you have to select Start button from the above displayed screen. A series of log entries will be displayed as shown in Figure 8, which indicates that the content has been posted to the blog. If you have selected a publication date then the content will be visible on the blog only on that date.

The software has an option to translate the content into various languages. I would suggest the vendor to provide an option to grab content from RSS feeds as well in the next version of the product.

The product is priced at $67 but you can try the software for 7 days for just $4.95. You will have an option to cancel the purchase if you are not satisfied with the product. In addition to the product you will also get bonus software and PDF reports which will help you create revenue generated blogs quickly.

From my point of view, the software will be very useful if you have content in text files or have the time to enter the content manually. If you don't have the content right now then you can instantly download a lot of content in various niches from the website of the vendor by filling out your name and e-mail address.

I feel that the software helps a web master not only to save time but also to generate revenue through Google Adsense.
