Blogger API

Went to Bedford yesterday for Susan’s sister’s 21st birthday. This involved drinking lots of beer, eating a stack of Mexican food and resultantly peeing like a horse at 3am in a hazy state. On the way down and back I hacked some more on my website.

One of the new features I want to implement in the site is support for the Blogger API. This requires learning two core technologies, (a) XML-RPC and (b), the Blogger API. Ed Dumbill has written an implementation of XML-RPC, and I have also found a PHP class for the Blogger API. From looking at the class, it seems that it is primarily intended for actually posting from a website to a Blogger blog. I am instead looking for an implementation of the Blogger API so I can use tools like gnome-blog to write blog entries. Has anyone done this? Has anyone done this in PHP?

Tonight I edited the last episode of Season 2 of LUGRadio for release tomorrow. Its been a great Season and awesome fun to boot. Adam and I jammed to the LR theme tune after the recording the other night, so I put that in as the outro and layered a montage of clips together. Sounds pretty I cool I think.

Well, back to work tomorrow…
