It supports most blog formats including the Blogger.com format used by Google's blog site, and the MovableType/Metaweblog method used here on the SBP. I enter my blog account details selecting the MovableType method and using a target location of http://sbp.teledyn.com/xmlrpc.php and I'm ready to roll -- all I need do after that is give my story a title and fill out a few lines of text, click the send and I'm published.</p> <p>Mind you, it's not perfect.</p> <p>textile1 </p> http://sbp.teledyn.com/node/265#comments HOWTO Fri, 09 Jul 2004 21:11:42 -0400 garym 265 at http://sbp.teledyn.com
