Here is a script to be able to post blog entries from sl.

This script is working for :

• wordpress
• drupal
• joomla

This script is open source, but i have made an extended version to use with wordpress that you can buy here

To make it work, you need to add this script in a box, and create a notecard.

Then you need to fill the 3 first variables in the script :

• username ( the username on the site )
• password ( the password of this username on the site )
• url ( the address of your website. ex : http://monsite.com/wordpress

During the creation of the notecard, you can change these values ( but when changing values by notecard, the values set stay in place, so you need to reset the script to go back to the default values ) Click on the object to make the rest menu appear.

Carrier returns are working and html content too.

when the notecard is created, you just need to drop it on the object and then a menu will appear after the notecard analyzis to ask you confirmation. This script can be extended to add other options but the base is here.

WARNING : THE NOTECARD LINES CAN NOT BE LOGER THAN 256 CHARS BECAUSE OF SL LIMIT
