The Blogger Tool by Suite75

Setup of blog at blogger.com

• Go to blogger.com and create a new account if needed.
• Create a new blog if needed. This will become the blog where you are posting to from Groove.
• Setup your FTP-server in the settings of the blog (IMPORTANT: the tool will not work with blogs published at blogspot.com!).
• Make sure your FTP-server username and password are saved in the settings of the blog.
• Write down the BlogID of your blog. This ID can be found at the end of the URL when you are at your blog at blogger.com (for example: http://www.blogger.com/blog.pyra?blogid=3503734).
• Write down/remember your blogger Homepage (for example: http://www.yourserver.com/blog/index.html). The homepage of your blog can be found in the settings of the blog at blogger.com.
• Write down/remember your blogger Username.
• Write down/remember your blogger Password.

Setup of the Blogger Tool

• Press the 'Settings' button to open the Settings-window.
• Enter your blogger BlogID, blogger Username, blogger Password and blogger Homepage
• Press 'OK' to save your settings.

Troubleshooting

• Posts are not saved to the blog:
  • Are your FTP username/password saved in settings of blog?
  • Make sure your blog is not published to blogspot.com, but is published to your server instead.
  • Does your blogger homepage point to correct location at your server?
  • Sometimes the blogger-server is too busy to handle any requests, in which case the only option is to wait until the server is back up.
