Looks like there’s a blank line at the beginning that needs to go.
Check your b2rdf.php file and make sure that there aren’t any blank lines before where it prints out the <?xml…> line.

Also see this other thread.
I’d also like to have a facility for IM notifications. I have my current blog set up to send me a jabber message whenever a new comment is posted, with a link to the post. I’m hoping that eventually we can come up with a generic framework for notifications for new posts and comments that will allow us to plug-in new notifiers easily.

Try taking out the ‘+’ sign. You just want the bare number (though, you <b>would</b> use a minus sign if you wanted to times to be earlier).

To display code, substitute ‘&lt;’ for all the ‘<‘ characters.
If you type: “&lt;?php blah blah blah ?>”, it will show up here as “<?php blah blah blah ?>”.

It shouldn’t have anything to do with permissions….
In your w.bloggar “Account Properties”, you should have
Host: https://www.davidmattison.ca
Page: /wordpress/xmlrpc.php
Yes?
And with w.bloggar, setting the “Blog Tool” option to “b2” is probably best. You might also want to check out Zempt.

How about if you added a “Links” category to your blog, then at the bottom of your blogroll, add a “Comment on these links” link that goes to your special category? Then whenever you add a new link, also make a regular blog post in your Links category, and people can use that for comments.

It really sounds like for some reason, your httpd isn’t recognizing the files as PHP code for some reason. You might try looking for help in some of the OS/X specific forums?

Okay, the servers came back up, and the new code is available from CVS now.

I’ve added Conditional GET support for all three RSS flavors. However, the CVS server appears to be unavailable at the moment. I’ll commit the changes as soon as possible.

I’ve committed changes to CVS for wp-links/links.php, wp-admin/wp-install.php and wp-admin/upgrade-071-to-072.php for this.
If you have the latest CVS version of links.php, then make sure that in “Options/Link Manager Settings”, you’ve removed the ‘%’ characters from links_updated_date_format. Also, in your template, you have to uncomment this line:
require_once($abspath.’wp-links/links.weblogs.com.php’);

I had spotted that Friday night, but didn’t get a chance to update a fix over the weekend.

Totally, I just tested the XML-RPC functions, and both the blogger.editPost and metaWeblog.editPost methods gave me the correct error when I tried to edit a higher level user’s post. Can you try your test again, and make doubly sure that you were able to edit a higher level post?

I used to open off-site links in new windows on my blog. But I had a checkbox in my menu area to toggle that feature off. I’d suggest that anyone who wants to open links in a new window offer the user a choice to turn it off like that.
I eventually just got rid of that feature, though. I conceded that it should be up to the user whether they want a new window or not. It’s easy enough to shift-click or right-click the link and choose. And since I use Mozilla as my main browser now, I just middle-click everything to open new pages in tabs ??
If you really feel the need to open new windows, here’s the code I used to use:
setTarget Javascript function
Form code to toggle links
As-is, it will open links in window named “ext_link_window”. This way, it will only open one extra window and keep re-using it, rather than opening an entirely new browser window for every link.

At the moment we’re mostly working on stamping out bugs for the impending 0.7.2 release. Once that version is stabilized, we can start putting the new stuff in. Matt described his vision for configurable clean urls on the developer’s list, and it sounds very exciting.

Oh yeah, sorry. You did say category, but I had comments on brain ??
