Wow. That worked (RadioService, that is). That's pretty cool. I could use this together with Radio Composer (not Poster anymore). But still, there is the limitation that you can't post to categories. comment ()  3:31:25 PM  #   Bill Bumgarner has been doing some kickass stuff for Radio on Mac OS X. "Now I can post to Radio from any application that has Services. I can take advantage of the spell/grammar checker in Word. Use Project Builder's code formatter. Edit Tables and other HTML markup via WebObjects Builder. Easily post the output of a command in the terminal."  [Scripting News] This is very cool. I think it's using Blogger API, which means no support for categories. It looks like I might be able to post remotely with it but I'll have to see. I'm trying it right now but I'm having trouble getting the service to show up in my Services menu. comment ()  12:34:29 PM  #   I'm trying to figure out how to get Radio Poster to post to Radio. One idea I had was to use the Blogger API. I need to understand how authentication works, of course. But the real problem is that the Blogger API doesn't do categories. And I want to be able to do categories. My other idea is to use http and just post the data the same way that my browser is going to post the data for this post. I would again have to tackle the security issues, but there is clearly a way to do that. I need to study the problem to understand how a browser has the opportunity to prompt a user for username/password in order to enable access to a restricted site, but I should, theoretically, be able to do the exact same thing. comment ()  9:09:21 AM  #
