So after installing Dapper on my new laptop (more on this in a later post) I decided to give gnome-blog a whirl. I like the idea of in-line spell checking and the panel applet looks quite nice too.<\/p>\n
\nAnyway when pointing it at my blog it insists on trying to connect to http:\/\/site.domain\/wordpress\/xmlrpc.php and there seems to be no way in the configuration GUI to persuade it that my blog lives at http:\/\/site.domain\/xmlrpc.php<\/p>\n

\nIt seems fairly sensible to me to just change xmlrpc_url in the code so that it doesn’t make any assumptions about the location of xmlrpc.php. But it’s probably not possible to do without breaking at least some peoples currently working gnome-blogs.<\/p>\n
