meYesterday, Dominic asked if I edit my posts by hand. Greg's response got me thinking about ways to streamline the process even further.

Since NewzCrawler implements the Blogger, MetaWeblog and MovableType APIs. I figured I might be able to post directly to my blog, and thus forgo my trusted text editor.

I first looked for the MetaWeblog API, but stop investigating once I discovered that Whiner was behind it. I looked at the Blogger API next, which appeared to be just what I was looking for.

I grabbed a copy of Apache's XML-RPC to handle the remote procedure calls thru a Servlet. And used the jTalk SqlQueryBean and Utility classes to handle all of the database work.

Less than 15 minutes later, I had successfully made my first blog entry via the NewzCrawler Blog Client. Here's a picture of the steps I took to bookmark from NewzCrawler directly to my scratchpad.

Cool beans!Cool!
