This article describes how to set up local clients to push blog entries to our site.
Table of Contents
General
Blogging using external clients is enabled by a mechanism called XML-RPC. This is a remote procedure call mechanism allowing to push data from your local computer directly to the website. All you need is a valid login for our home page and a blogging client that supports XML-RPC calls.
Setup
Usually, all you need to do is to enter the login credentials into your client of choice. These are:
- URL
- The URL of the XML-RPC processor. This is http://www.rpdev.net/home/xmlrpc.php
- Username
- You username, as used in the site's login menu.
- Password
- Your password, as used in the site's login menu.
That's all!
Tested Software
| Blogilo (formerly Bilbo Blogger) | Works so far. Some issues when posting (XML) code inline. Also HTML formatted text is not ideal for review afterwards, but overall good if you just want to write normal text. |
