Let’s Do The Qumana Thing Again…

… testing the suitability of this tool for WordPress.

Why did this come up? Well, I’m at San Diego Comic Con, where my AT&T wireless dongle has had an awful time connecting, and on top of that I’m working hard on LIQUID FIRE, which often prompts me to turn off the Internets so that I can focus on getting writing done.  SO it’s useful to have an offline blogging tool again, and I had good luck with Qumana … though it was not perfect, it got the job done.

OK, here we go … reconfiguring blog … aaand … post.

404 error: not found.

OK, so obviously, that was was not the right endpoint … Qumana needs to know where your control panel for your blog is, and if you don’t tell it, it can’t post for you.  Fixing … OK.  Aaaand … post.

302 error: a redirect.

Rassen frassen … ID:10T error, stupid Centaur, read the documentation you include in your article and add the xmlrpc.php to the final end of the path to your endpoint. Fixing … OK.  Aaaand … post. 

404 error: not found.

No, still not quite correct … don’t need the /wp-admin/ in there to make it work, which I could easily have seen by inspecting the PHP files on the server, or in the local MAMP copy of my WordPress installation.  The actual final path seems to be http://SITE/BLOGPATH/xmlrpc.php, which makes sense, but since I’ve got a custom site organization I stuffed a  /wp-admin/ in there which didn’t need to be. Fixing … OK. Aaaaand … post.

Geronimo!
