Hi there. Just wanted to mention that I've managed to get BloGTK working quite well with WordPress (http://wordpress.org/). How to get BloGTK to talk to WP:

1) Use Movable Type API
2) modify post.py as follows:
/usr/lib/blogtk$ diff post.py orig/$1
308c308
< #            keywords = item['mt_keywords']
---
>             keywords = item['mt_keywords']
327c327
< #   keywordsEntry.set_text(keywords)
---
>    keywordsEntry.set_text(keywords)

That's needed since WordPress does not use the keywords field, for some reason. Perhaps a less drastic fix could be found, but I'm only using BloGTK with WP at the moment, so this is good enough! :)

3) Kind of off topic on here, but.. WordPress's xmlrpc.php can be modified such that BloGTK edits of posts do not stuff up the posts' timestamp(s).

Other than that, I'd like to say that BloGTK *rocks*. Thanks a lot Jay. :)
