Blog API

So I was trying to configure Word 2007's blogging feature to post to my blog at GeeksWithBlogs, I noticed that it does so through a standard web server API called MetaBlogAPI, and it's pretty widely supported. I had no idea this existed (granted I may be out of the loop). It contains all of the functionality to add posts, view posts, and do everything blog related. Very handy.

Check out my blogs API (granted you can't do much without my account credentials!): http://geekswithblogs.net/mcassell/services/metablogapi.aspx

If this kind of thing interests you, you might also want to look at Atom Publishing Protocol, and Google's GData API. Its basically the same thing, but APP is actually an IETF draft right now. Blogger has deprecated the old API and is now using GData (which is basically APP).
