Testing MarsEdit posting

We are planning to retire Joomla, which has been turned off for some time and has been nothing but a nuisance in terms of security vulnerabilities and external hacking attempts. New pages based on this WikiServer implementation and possibly a new server will be pursued in the near-term future.

I've been searching for more information on how to make blog entries into our highenergy-based user and group blogs from external blog-posting clients. So far I have found a way to do this with at least one very nice such external client, MarsEdit, for Mac OS X.

The explanation for how to do this is contained in the accompanying link. Here are the settings I used. You would have to alter this to put in your own username, etc.

Weblog Name: Alan Sill
Home page URL: https://highenergy.phys.ttu.edu/users/alansill/
Software: Other Metaweblog-compatible
API Endpoint URL: http://highenergy.phys.ttu.edu/RPC2
Blog ID: users/alansill/weblog

I used MarsEdit to make this entry. There may be other such software clients, both free and paid, like this one that can be used from other platforms to make such entries.

Blogs are for personal observations or files (including media files and presentations). We also have created a new TTU CMS group page on the current site intended to hold files of interest to the whole TTU CMS group. A description of that page, including the purpose of the various parts and how they relate to our electronic logbook, is given on the blog page for the TTU CMS group.

Other groups can be defined. Please contact one of us (Van or Alan) to have new groups set up for courses, projects etc..
