Blogger has become an xml-rpc standard for publishing files on CMS (Content Management System) and blog engines.

This project should implement a Blogger interface to KompoZer.

Main goals:

• write a blogpost in HTML or XHTML and publish it with KompoZer
• handle attachments (e.g. images) seemlessly
• save blogposts locally
• The User Interface has to be as well integrated in KompoZer as possible:
• create a SiteManager-like sidebar to list all blog posts
• add a “Blogger” tab in the SiteManager settings (along with the “General Settings” and “FTP settings” ones)
• the “New Page” dialog has to offer a “Blog post” entry

Main feature: when a “Blog post” document is created, the “Publish” button should call the Blogger API to publish the inner HTML of instead of uploading the HTML document through FTP.

This Blogger support would be a very important feature in KompoZer: CMS users could use KompoZer to tweak the CSS and publish their blogposts in WYSIWYG mode. Blogger has become an xml-rpc standard for publishing files on CMS and blog engines, it’s widely supported.

This should be developed as an add-on.
