Wasting time with blogs.sun.com and ScribeFire
Tuesday Jun 26, 2007
This was going to be just a test post to confirm ScribeFire works; I'd used the on-line editor up 'til now, but losing a half-hour of work on my last posting the other day when blogs.sun.com decided to flake out and reject my saving of the post convinced me that I needed to use a real client.
Anyway, I also spent nearly a half hour getting the right settings for ScribeFire to work with blogs.sun.com's Roller services, since the references I turned up in the internal mail archives were wrong. It turns out the correct answer is in an example in the Roller 3.1 User Guide, so I figured I might as well record them here so I and others will get it right in the future with a little less time wasted.
For ScribeFire 1.3.5, tell the account wizard:
- blog url: http://blogs.sun.com/dminer
- press Manually Configure
- select Custom Blog
- select MetaWeblog API
- Server API URL: http://blogs.sun.com/roller-services/xmlrpc
- provide username and password
