Now come the juicy details! Under the New Account dialog, you will have the API set to MetaWebLog.
Then provide the Blog Post URL, this needs to be https://geekswithblogs.net//services/metablogapi.aspx (remember to change the part with your info).
Then, enter your User Name and Password, click OK and you should be set (you will receive a dialog letting you know information will be transferred).
