Andrea: Good to hear. >only that it seems that any client application has different ways of doing >the same things :( Yep, they really do... ditto for the server applications. The problem is a result of some folks ignoring specs, and some folks creating new ones. You basically have three choices: (1) Strictly adhere to the metaWeblog API, and simply come up with a list of clients that are compatible with you. Sadly, that's only going to amount to a handful. (2) Ignore the spec and try to duplicate whatever Movable Type is sending down the wire. You'll get broader client support that way, but you'll be chasing the moving target of someone else's implementation. (3) Strictly adhere to the original Blogger API. You'll be able to use just about every client app ever made, but you'll face serious limitations in the way of features. >There are other free client other than w.bloggar i can test? Try the one built into Newzcrawler (http://newzcrawler.com/)... it's a touch flaky, but much better than most. Also look into Qumana (http://qumana.com/)... they've demonstrated a desire to follow the specs as best they can. Most of the rest (ecto, BlogJet, etc.) are very MT-centric, and will give you fits when it comes to things like category handling. Personally, I'd recommend implementing a mail2blog interface and saving yourself the trouble. I've had the option to post entries via a third-party client for at least a couple years no, but I've never once used it for a real entry... meanwhile, I post via email from my cellphone all the time. The real world often favors more primitive solutions that nonetheless *work*. -- Roger Benningfield JournURL http://admin.support.journurl.com/ http://admin.mxblogspace.journurl.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
