   I knew I was forgetting something obvious.
   I'm running 1.2.2 Mingus.

   btw, here' s a sample of what I get when I post using the b2 plugin for NewsGator. I posted this from intraVnews, a different app, but it supports the same plugins and produces the same results. Note this is all in the body. The post doesn't even show as having a title ("intraVnew test" was supposed to be the title). This is what came back from an RSS feed of my own site, so I guess Kubrick has nothing to do with this.
   <intraVnews test<
   <
   <
   <<<span style='font-size:10.0pt;
   font-family:Arial’>>Test test 1 2 3<<<
   <

   Well, here's the problem. There have been a lot of changes to xmlrpc.php since b2. So, I doubt NewsGator knows what they're talking about. Have you tried another app?

   I have WP 1.2.2 installed and have used Zempt without any problems. I now use W.Bloggar without any problems either. Please give them a try.
   Regards

   This is weird. Now nothing works. Nothing has changed except I'm away visiting family for the holidays using my laptop through my parent's connection. The NewsGator+b2 plugin, which used to succeed in sending garbled posts, now tells me the "response does not contain valid XML". Zempt and W.Bloggar give me similar messages. I've confirmed I can reach the website (www.chirilov.org). I have no idea what's going on. I'll have to try again later, possibly when I get home again (12/28). Until then I can't confirm if Zempt and/or W.Bloggar work or not.

   Hi, my site host finally fixed some problem with PHP-XML that was causing wordpress to fail in certain cases (xmlrpc.php being one of them).

   But, I'm still stuck. I tried both Zempt and W.Bloggar and neither work.

   Zempt crashes when I try to create a new account. It reads the categories and some other information, seemingly successfully, then I get a C++ abnormal termination error.

   W.Bloggar doesn't list WordPress as one of the supported apps, so I'm forced to try something else like b2 or MT. In either case I get the same results as with the addin: a bunch of garbled mess.

   I can't imagine I'm the only one experiencing this. I'm running a standard install of WP. My site host is running PHP 5.0.2. Could this have something to do with it?

   W.Bloggar now lists that they support WordPress. I tried it and it ok for simple weblogs. If you have custom fields though, I haven't quite figured out how they translate over..

   I tried the new version of w.bloggar and it seems to work ok for REALLY simple posts. If I have *any* html formatting in the post, like bold, blockquote, etc., it doesn't send it properly to WordPress. In WordPress I'll see lots of angle brackets and HTML escape characters. So this:

   simple text

   <b>bold</b>

   blockquote

   end post

   ... ends up looking like this:

   simple text

   <<b>>bold<</b>>
   <
   

   >block quote<

   >

   end post

   ... in the WordPress editor, and the final output looks like this:

   simple text

   <bold<
   <
   block quote<

   end post
