tuxmaniac’s blog

I was meddling around with the bugs in launchpad today and one bug report ended up in another and as I was digging out into a lot of bugs I came across a interesting piece of software which I thought I will give it a shot. Its Drivel and I did a “sudo apt-get install drivel”.
The settings dialog looked like the one below.

I was a bit confused initially with the Journal type as I could not find Wordpress. Then Google came up with an answer as usual that I could select “Movable type” as the Journal and then append a /xmlrpc.php to the blog url; something like http://blog.tuxmaniac.com/xmlrpc.php and off you go posting your blog entry. It immediately syncs and updates the categories and latest blog entries for your use. Something that I would have liked is a WYSIWYG kind of a editor. Nevertheless, seems like a good piece of software.

Time to post it now

Update: Grr. It screwed up my images. Had to re format it using the web interface It looked like I was bit too fast in reviewing the package. Ok. Review rating changed from Nice to OK
