BlogHarbor weblogs support the Movable Type/Blogger API, which allows you to post to your BlogHarbor weblog using RSS tools such as NewzCrawler or w.bloggar.

These tools allow advanced bloggers increased flexibility when posting articles to BlogHarbor weblogs. They can allow you to create articles while you are not connected to the Internet, and save them locally so that you can post them when you are connected.

In addition to being able to create articles and post them to your BlogHarbor weblog, some tools like NewzCrawler can also read the RSS feeds of your favorite blogs.

Configuring w.bloggar

To post using one of these tools, you will need to know enter the username and password of your account. Using w.bloggar for example, you will also need to enter the following information:

Blog Tool: Moveable Type
Account Alias: Your Blog's Name

Host: api.blogharbor.com
Page: /xmlrpc.cgi

The following screenshot shows the Account Properties tab for w.bloggar:
