Most of my friends know that I never had an interest in DNAs and parabolas, well basically because I always have a hard time imagining such abstract concepts (seen in Science and Math books!). BUT I think mostly everyone knows how much I LOVE tweaking computer codes, although it may also be considered abstract, since my dad, who is an engineer, introduced to me MS-DOS when I was 8, the Internet (through Netscape Navigator) when I was 11, and HTML when I was 14. I remember the days when I was the only girl who compete in 'computer contests' in school. I remember that before going to sleep, I used to regularly browse through my thick HTML guide, and I never admitted to anyone that I did that just for fun!
Sometimes, I still wish I have taken up MIS (Management Information Systems) instead of Communications as my undergraduate degree. Sometimes, I regret not taking programming classes, because if I did, I could have enhanced my 'techie skills', as how my friend Mich calls it.
But the Internet has been a great avenue for me to still explore HTML and CSS at least. I have long been looking for a desktop client which can allow me to post to all my accounts in Blogger, LJ, and Tabulas. I particularly had a hard time looking for a client which can cater to Tabulas because it's not as popular as the other two.
But after knowing that w.bloggar supports, not only Blogger and LJ, but also the old Blogger API, which hosts Tabulas, I became so excited I downloaded the software immediately! When I was customizing my account in bloggar, I didn't get at first what to put exactly under 'host' and 'path', until I figured out that the host is api.tabulas.com and its path is not /xmlrpc/ anymore but /blogger/. So hooray, I did the right thing, and now I can easily post to all my accounts, thanks to w.bloggar and also to my repressed 'techie skills'.
(and for the first time in a very long time, I feel like I was a genius to have worked that out!)
I hope this can be of help to others, especially to the Tabulas users out there, since there are already a lot of clients which support Blogger and LJ (like the fabulous Microsoft Live Writer).
