Welcome to
Bloggenmoz!
This site
was created to document my attempts to add support for the
Blogger API
directly to
Mozilla
Composer . What this means is that people should be able to
post to their weblogs directly from the HTML editor that comes with
Mozilla. I've started coding over the weekend and already have a
functional prototype. Here's a screenshot:

current code from the
download
page . You'll also find installation instructions as well as
some notes and caveats. Please remember that this code is
experimental! This project was inspired by
Mike Lee's
MozBlog, a Mozilla
extension thatis embedded in the browser window and allows for
quick posting of smallertexts (think bookmarklet). In contrast,
Blogger API support in Composer wouldbe ideal for writing longer
texts, something that is very unconvenient withbrowser-based
solutions. There's more to come soon - stay tuned and let me know
what you think!
I think things are
getting really interesting, again! If you try this, remember to
enable
this
Pref. Here are the settings I'm using in the Publish
dialog:
|
XML-RPC URL
|
http://localhost:5335/RPC2
|
|
WeblogID
|
home
(why?)
|
|
Username

It's so nice to have the
use of a table editor, once again! As Hannes notes in his blog,
there's more to do. This really does want to be embedded in Radio's
UI, not external to it. And of course the recent innovation around
RSS titles is, I guess, not yet available through the Blogger API,
so I'll probably go back and title this item. Oh, and I had to
tweak some image URLs in source mode in order to refer back to
Hannes' site. All this can get sorted out relatively quickly, once
there's a critical mass of people who are in a position to use, and
appreciate, the full power of hypertextual writing with words,
pictures, tables, math, and vector graphics. Bring it on!
(PS: Hannes, some words ran together and I
had to do some additional touchup in Radio's editor. But...this is
way cool! Thanks so much!)
