Ooooh! Spiffy-keen client side goodness!

As part of the forum revamp, it looks like the blog module now properly supports XML-RPC access. (It used to claim to, but I never had any luck getting it to work) That means client blog editors (like, say, ecto, the one I rather like. It's well worth the cost) work. Which means I can blog from the train, with a text editor that doesn't suck, and that has built-in spelling checking. (Though I do see the latest version of Camino enables that in text widgets, which is kinda nice)

 

Being able to do up entries while offline is a very nice thing indeed. I shall have to do that more often, I think, 'specially since Michael and Devon have officially caught my attention. (Sorry Lucy)

 

Pardon me while I do the happy geek dance. Avert your eyes! :)

I can almost follow what you wrote about clients. I downloaded one for livejournal but it was not up-to-date with livejournal's features, so I couldn't do everything in it, and I just use the simplest interface livejournal has (that is, the one you get when you go to "update" and not the one you get when you go to "my lj."Well, I guess you'll do your usually excellent job with Michael and Devon, and I'll enjoy it very much and wait patiently for your werewolf. It's not, by the way, that I generally like werewolves (though I have one in mind to write myself, originally conceived as a sequel to The Donor) -- I liked the way you wrote that scene. I liked the sense that the story was going to go its own way, like Busted did.I'm seeing this in white letters on a dark blue on dark blue background. It's eye-wrenching. Is the dark blue with white letters thing your choice or something the blog did automagically?

Does this whiz-bang blog gizmo that has you all fired up come with somewhat larger text? Either that or I'm just going to have to break down and get new glasses. :blink:

Yeah, I went and changed the default blog theme. Hey, I'm a geek -- I like the shiny, but I never claimed to have, y'know, taste. (There's a reason my closet only has jeans in it, 'cause everything goes with denim :) ) I kinda like it, but I guess I'll change it back, since I'm not the one who has to read the thing. (And when I do I usually tell Camino to up the font size a notch or two anyway)
