Description
I have implemented JOTT and found it a great new way to post blogs to my site. However, it currently only goes to the module created JOTT node.
I would find it to be a great option to have a choice to allow it to post the the standard BLOG post instead of its own JOTT post nodes.
My blog's flow better when they are all in one place.
Please let me know what you think.

I like this idea. I've thought about turning the control of content type over in the way the og.module does it by allowing the user to select which available content type to create jotts.
#2
I went ahead and changed in the module on my site the node type defined on line 146 in the jott module from 'jott' to 'blog' and in testing, it does now post as if its a regular BLOG on my site. That keeps the flow of my blogs how I need them. Did I create other unknown problems with any database structure or stuff with this change??
#3
Yes, that skips some of the hooks the modules uses for properties of the Jott post but doesn't appear to significantly break anything. By having a configurable content type used for jotts the module will need to use hook_nodeapi() to do its thing.
#4
I think making it configurable would be a nice option to the JOTT module. I am just not a code writer, I just know enough to almost be dangerous! :-). Hopefully it can be added as a new feature update.
#5
I will probably put this into a new branch under 6 but won't then backport to 5.
