Hi
Are there any instructions out there on how to add a new blog entry via external code, with content and formatting etcetera (even uploading pictures to be used in the story)?
I am trying to write a program that will update various pages with the same data (a newsletter) and one of the places that the newsletter is printed is on the blog.
Cheers
Ed
You can easily set up a "Post via email" solution. Go to [yoursite.com]/[blog-directory]/wp-admin/options-writing.php and you'll see you can add a new post by sending it to a special email address you can set up.

Check out the Firefox add-on ScribeFire Blog Editor. I've used it and it's quite nice. Also check out the PostMaster plugin if you want to post images.
WordPress supports both standard XML-RPC and the newer Atom Publishing Protocol functionality. You can add content to the site using third party editors using those methods.
