 * 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

 * 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?

 * 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.

 * 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<<< <

 * I knew I was forgetting something obvious.
    I’m running 1.2.2 Mingus.
