I’ve not had a look at it I’m afraid Patrick, I’m not even using Linux on any of my machines as the main OS any more so it might take a while. Sorry, I do plan to get to this and port it to Akonadi at some stage.

One thing that I’ve found on Blogger’s help forums is this. The XML-RPC URL is supposedly your domain/feeds/posts/default (for example http://patscompservices.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default) but it still doesn’t get my blog in the “Blog list”.

Have you had a chance to update this at all?

Have a great day:)
Patrick.

Oh, no debug output, sucks. I’m afraid I can’t do much to help then until I give it a go myself.

> Can you run KOrganizer from a terminal a paste the output into a bug on KDE’s bugzilla?

I tried this but once KOrganizer (and Kontact, either one) launch with some very basic feedback, there is no more terminal output. So when I try to edit or enable that Blogger.com resourcce and I get feedback telling me, “Error while loading MyBlog”.

And now, KMail launches outside of Kontact, and I don’t know why this happens

I’m unsure about the Google Blogger Data API, I haven’t tried it in a while but other posters have said they’ve had problems with it. Can you run KOrganizer from a terminal a paste the output into a bug on KDE’s bugzilla?

Apparently the $YOUR_USER_ID is a long number rather than a username etc; accessible by clicking “About user ____” and copying the number in the browser’s URL.

However, I still cannot get this to connect.

How does $YOUR_USER_ID differ from the username, for the Google Blogger API?

do the quotes matter when entering the info for the XML-RPC URL? If this is a consistent address for various blogging sites, perhaps a drop-down would be better with the option to enter the info manually?

“Blog: When you have chosen an API this list will be automatically populated”… doesn’t seem to be working for me, but I am not sure if I have the rest of the information correct yet…

A very nice looking way to blog, but I need some poking at it to get it working at this point. Thanks for the great work though!

Thanks for adding this feature to one of the best pieces of KDE software!

I signed up for Blogger, via my Google account just to give this feature a try. I’m not having any success posting to it from KOrganizer though.

I’d also like to see my friends’ LiveJournals in KOrganizer if possible, but I understand if LiveJournal support isn’t done.

If you see this and have time to help me please do.

Thanks again for this great feature!

Thanks! I was able to download blog posts, but sadly I cannot save the entries to a blog. I am using KDE 4.2.2 now, and my blog is WordPress 2.7.1… any hints? Thanks again !
