I’ve not had a look at it I’m afraid Patrick, I’m not even using Linux on any of my machines as the main OS any more so it might take a while. Sorry, I do plan to get to this and port it to Akonadi at some stage.

One thing that I’ve found on Blogger’s help forums is this. The XML-RPC URL is supposedly your domain/feeds/posts/default (for example http://patscompservices.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default) but it still doesn’t get my blog in the “Blog list”.

Have you had a chance to update this at all?

Have a great day:)
Patrick.

Hope Iceland went well – sounds like it did!
I saw a whale in Oz, but didn’t eat any of it for two reasons:

looked too big for my limited appetite and

couldn’t swim that far offshore.

Also, until your blog, I thought a blue lagoon was a cocktail for girls…? Seems not.

I may have to hurt you for that pun.

That’s a really good point Seb, didn’t think of that before now. The whole “he who codes decides” attitude just means most decisions are made by those people who have the most time and frequently the least experience.

We’ve got some usability professionals and graphics designers now but we don’t have really many product managers. Perhaps we need some more.

The benign dictatorship is also commonly known as “product manager”, but for some reason, FOSS projects hate that term and associating themselves with words that put people in immediate power.

Oh, no debug output, sucks. I’m afraid I can’t do much to help then until I give it a go myself.

> Can you run KOrganizer from a terminal a paste the output into a bug on KDE’s bugzilla?

I tried this but once KOrganizer (and Kontact, either one) launch with some very basic feedback, there is no more terminal output. So when I try to edit or enable that Blogger.com resourcce and I get feedback telling me, “Error while loading MyBlog”.

And now, KMail launches outside of Kontact, and I don’t know why this happens

I’m unsure about the Google Blogger Data API, I haven’t tried it in a while but other posters have said they’ve had problems with it. Can you run KOrganizer from a terminal a paste the output into a bug on KDE’s bugzilla?

Apparently the $YOUR_USER_ID is a long number rather than a username etc; accessible by clicking “About user ____” and copying the number in the browser’s URL.

However, I still cannot get this to connect.
