I finally switched to Vista the other day, which also meant that I lost my blog settings in Word. I just spent much more time than I felt necessary to find the API URL and so here it goes the info again for the record:

  1. Login to your geekswithblogs administration screens | Options | Configure, and check the box "Allow Web Service Access".
  2. Open Word and choose New …. | New blog post
  3. If this is the first time you bring up the blog post template the Account wizard should pop up automatically. Otherwise, click Manage Accounts | New. Use the following values to set up your geekswithblogs account:
    1. Blog Provider: Other
    2. API: MetaWebLog
    3. Blog post URL: http://geekswithblogs.net/<your ID>/services/metablogapi.aspx
    4. Enter your logon information

     

You can save your posts locally as Word files and when ready, use the "Publish" button. You cannot currently include and upload pictures to your geekswithblogs.net gallery, however, you can save the post as a draft and upload and add your images manually from the web UI.

You can, however, set metadata category tags using the "Insert Category" menu options (if necessary repeatedly for multiple categories).
