Blog Tools

I'm not sure if I wrote about this before, but PostXING is a great blog tool alternative for desktop blogging. It holds your credentials and operates with Community Server (which runs blogs.msdn.com) as well as MSN Spaces. The value add here is that I can now launch this nifty .NET application and craft posts and send them to my blog(s) (hence the cross posting feature) without ever navigating to the blog creation page, entering in my login information, etc. When setting up for Community Server, just point the directory to /metablog.ashx. For spaces, see the configuration informaiton below.

username: Your spaces username

password: Your spaces special password for email blogging

URL: /storageservice/Metaweblog.rpc
