Editing Conversant Weblogs
By Robert Daeley, 5 February 2003
This page describes how to configure NetNewsWire to edit your Conversant weblogs with NetNewsWire.
Add Weblog
In NetNewsWire, open the Preferences window and click the Weblogs button at the top of the window. Then click the Add Weblog button—or click the Edit button if you’re editing the settings for an existing weblog.
Basic Tab Preferences
In the Weblog Name section, type the name of your weblog. The Home URL should point to the homepage of your weblog.
Enter your Conversant username (email address) and password. NetNewsWire will add the combination to your Keychain if you turn on the Store password in Keychain option.
RPC Tab Preferences
From the System popup menu, choose Conversant. This will set APIs for you automatically—you don’t have to do anything in that section.
NetNewsWire can sometimes figure out what the values for RPC URL and Blog ID should be if you click the Autofill button. However, if not, ask your system administrator for help.
Posts Tab Preferences
You could move on and set the Posts preferences. They’re a matter of taste and don’t actually affect whether or not NetNewsWire works with Conversant. You can always come back to the Posts preferences later.
