Born and raised on Oahu, Hawaii, eventually transplanted to Charlotte, NC. I try to keep here when it comes to writing when I'm not micro-blogging, delicious marking, bit.ly converting, status-updating, OSX app compiling, SOHO Network junking, project working, job finding, dog loving and what not :)
I was running into minor issues and was curious as to how you blog.
I’m using my Blogger account but hosting the blog at http://blog.cfgonzales.com/. So far so good, please feel free to check it out.
I am working on a way to effectively create/edit/plan posts before publishing so as to not be tethered to a computer in order to do so. I figured the easiest and most cost efficient way was to do this via my pda but in doing so have found a flaw in the software/setup.
I am using a freeware application (u*Blog) that seems to be as simple and effective as I would need it to be. It communicates with your “blog” via XML-RPC . The issue is that it doesn’t seem to pull all of the information I need from Blogger’s API in order to use u*Blog to it’s full potential. There is little to no support available out there for this software so I was hoping to get a little more insight on how you blog.
Do you use anything other than your computer to blog? Do you make use of Blogger’s XML-RPC function and if so what have been your experiences with it?
I know that u*Blog also supports Movable type which I am willing to try but would rather get input on Blogger first.
I found out that the BloggerAPI is limited and that either the movable type or metaWeblog API’s work much better with u*Blog as far as being able to edit a post’s date and its associated keywords.
