Posting with External Applications

From BBlog

bBlog has an XML-RPC interface accessible via bblog/xmlrpc.php. This allows you to post to your blog using external applications supporting the MetaWeblog API.


Configuring w.bloggar

Set your Account Properties (File->Account Properties) as follows:

  • Content Management System
    • Blog Tool: >> Custom <<
    • Account Alias: Your Blog Name
  • API Server Tab
    • Host: www.yourblogsite.com
    • Page: /bblog/xmlrpc.php
    • Port: 80
    • Timeout: 30 seconds
  • Custom Tab
    • Posts: metaWeblog API
    • Categories: metaWeblog API - Multi
    • Templates: Not Supported

You may also want to change your Preview Format (File->Settings->Preview) to match your blog's format.

If your hosting provider offers a shared SSL certificate you may wish to select HTTPS in the Account Properties screen, and change your Host setting according to your hosting provider's support documentation (usually something like secure.host.com/~sitename).

At this stage, the blogger.api is NOT supported, but will be in the future.
