As I began fooling around with my new Geekswithblogs blog I noticed a little checkbox in the Options section called "Allow webservices". Obviously that was some sort of API for uploading new blogentries, but how do I access it? Did I have to write my own app access it?
No, Office 2007 has an awesome feature for blogging. It allows you to hook up to pretty much any blogging API including Blogger, the company Sharepoint, CommunityServer, Windows Live Spaces, WordPress, TypePad and most importantly any blog that supports Atom or MetaWeblog. How sweet for me that Geekswithblogs has support for Metaweblog.
Worth mentioning is also that Microsoft has not tried to invent their own specification for blogging, instead they have implemented pretty much everything that is on the market.
Start off by creating your account and then you are ready to go!
The experience is just as friendly and powerful as you would expect from a feature like this.
