I was working recently with some off-line blogging tools during pmrs and
decided to post a step by step on how to configure ScribeFire with BleedYellow blogs.

Thanks to Chris at 911 for helping to get this up and running. You will need to mail him
first (bleedyellow@lotus911.com) to get your username if you plan on using this feature.

These are just steps for ScribeFire but the same should apply to any Blogging tools that
support the MetaWeblog API.


1. Enable the API option in your Blog settings and update to save



2. Start the ScribeFire account wizard and entry the URL to your own Blog



3. Select MetaWeblog API from the drop-down and enter the url
https://www.bleedyellow.com/blogs/services/xmlrpc



4. Enter your username and password, as supplied from BleedYellow.



5. Assuming you only have one blog, click next



Summary, this should be your completed account settings




Happy blogging !!

I recently had to set up an environment to use the Notes 8.0.2 Client and embedded Sametime with the
Lotus Connections 2.0 plugin available here from the Connections catalog site. I wanted to pull the business
cards from the profiles feature into Sametime.

The problem? After installing it, no business card at all and just an error dialog telling me that the bizcard.html
file could not be found, even though I could browse to find the exact file in the path shown.



The telling error in the Notes trace log was this one "HTMLBusinessCard invoking external browser with :"
Without an internal browser to show the card, we're stuck.

The solution? I took the XULRunner browser from the Sametime Advanced plugins package and installed it first on the Notes 8 client. Once this was in
place, I had a lovely new business card direct from Profiles.
