Version 1.3 Released (MSN Spaces Support)

I am glad to annouce that Pocket Blogger version 1.3 has been released (Download: here). Version 1.3 is cool because it has MSN Spaces support, which was just announced live today! I'd like to thank Dare at Microsoft for giving me the sneak peek early to get the implementation done before it was actually released.

Some things to note with MSN Spaces. You need to configure your space to allow PB to work.

Step 1 - login to your space and goto Settings, then E-mail Publishing



Turn on Email publishing and put an email adddress in.

Step 2 - Choose a secret word and set up the draft setttings



Once you have that configured, when you run pocketblogger, you will see a new menu called "Service" - you can choose Blogger or MSN Spaces. You can tell that PB is using which service by the logo you see at the top.

The username will be your blog name, like mine is "ScaleOvenStove" because my spaces blog is http://spaces.msn.com/scaleovenstove

The password will be the secret word you chose in step 2 above.

When you hit "Get Blogs", you should see your blog come back and you can create posts , view recent posts, edit and delete posts. I have tested it and it works!

You can switch back to Blogger if you have a blogger blog as well, it works both ways!

Happy Pocket Blogging! :)

- Steve
