Posting and editing content with w.bloggar
w.bloggar is a gratis software for Windows designed for "blogs" (web-based journals).
If you've confirmed that blog support is enabled, here's some steps to get going:
- Download the software from http://www.wbloggar.com/ and install.
- Set up a new account. This is explained in the w.bloggar help files.
- When it comes time to set the "Blog Tool" selection, choose "MovableType" (and not "Drupal"). This is because (at time of writing) the Drupal support in w.bloggar is outdated.
- For "Host" put the domain of the website you're using, then for "Path" put the rest of the address, if any, followed by "/xmlrpc.php". So if the address was "http://www.gworks.ca/site/" you would put "www.gworks.ca" for host and "site/xmlrpc.php" for Path. The "xmlrpc.php" part is the Bloggyland file that handles the blogging input.
Now you're ready to start posting. In doing so, you can take advantage of the text formatting functionality w.bloggar offers. When correctly set up, posting a web page from w.bloggar is as simple as opening the program, typing in some text, selecting a category (the "taxonomy term" to use) and hitting post.
