The next part of the dialog will prompt you to provide the New Blog Account details, starting with the type of Blog you have (SharePoint, WordPress, TypePad and others are listed). In our case for GeeksWithBlogs, we will select Other.

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).
