Need your help.
I’ve followed all your instruction and worked perfect until I have to connect to my WORDPRESS.
You said you have to add xmlrpc.php at the end of my blog address.
What should I type at “Server address?”

thanks

I have tested Dripel (I’ve got a blog launched by Wordpress) and I didn’t find one function in this software.

In fact, I try to publish one article a day on my blog, and I usually write them by advance and I choose for each one the day of publication, so if I write 4 article on a day, they will publish on the four next days.

But I didn’t found any options to parameter this in Drivel, and this is why I don’t use it. Moreover, I find wordpress administrative interface very well done, and you can get lot of editing option withs advance WYSIWYG editors. That’s why I consider the best is to edit posts directly in the administration interface of Wordpress.

Dripel is a young project, and would need to improve fonctionnality. I think I will inform about it in the future. May be, it can be interesting.

I did not know drivel, just tested it on edgy. Some options are indeed only available for liveJournal (I have a Wordpress blog). Check the Help menu > Usage. For example, you can only edit recent entries, and the “show more options” only shows “categories”. I’m going to give it a try, anyway. Thank you

Very nicely written article.
The instructions were flawless and the screenshots help a lot.
Thank you,
P.S: Some of the entries in “Show options” wouldn’t show for me (I am using Ubuntu 6.10; Wordpress). Is that typical for a movable type?
