BloGTK, a weblog client for Linux

January 11th, 2008 by Martin

I have been meaning to setup a weblog client for a while now. I have tested a couple of weblogs clients and have settled on BloGTK.

It has a simple user interface but comprehensive features, although I did need to define a few Custom Tags before the editor supported all the formatting options I wanted.

Setting up BloGTK is very simple for Ubuntu and Debain users.

aptitude install blogtk

Once installed, the following settings will connect to a Wordpress blog.e

  • Server URL: http://blog.example.org/xmlrpc.php
  • Account: Your Username
  • Password: Your Password
  • Blogging System: Moveable Type

Now I can blog directly from my desktop, I am hoping it will encourage me to post more often :-)

    Hey thanks, I kept trying to get BloGTK to work but I didn’t realize that it needed to be pointed to the xmlrpc file, unlike the Gnome Blog Entry Poster. I still can’t seem to get BloGTK to work for me though, for various reasons, like using categories.

    With the settings I have shown above, when I select File -> Connect the Wordpress categories are populated in the drop down.
