Windows Live Writer Posting to Drupal

Since I’m reestablishing our sites – see my previous posts on having the site hacked last week – I had to reinstall my PitmanGeek.com site which was a Drupal site.  I had never really gotten off the ground with the site, so it was no big deal to get it reinstalled.  I didn’t lose any content.

I have the Drupal site running and setup the BlogAPI to allow for remote posting.  I found out quickly; however, that Windows Live Writer was not operating correctly with the standard Drupal BlogAPI.  After looking around on the Internet a little I found Windows Live Writer BlogAPI Module for Drupal.  I installed this and it seems to work for Blog entries only.  Not a problem since that is how I will be using it.

So I now have our WordPress Blogs setup, our Photos site setup (although not fully repopulated) and the PitmanGeek site reestablished.  Not too much more to do, but I want to do it slowly so that everything is completely documented and done cleanly.  I’m also keeping local copies of all the code to ensure that it can be quickly recovered to the correct versions.
