Setting Quick Blogcast Remote Blogging Options
Blog owners can enable access to the MetaWeblog API, which allows Blogcast authors to write and post blog entries from third-party clients, including desktop clients, online clients, and personal digital assistants (PDA).
After enabling MetaWeblog API access, blog authors need to set up the third-party client to work with Quick Blogcast. For more information, see Setting Up Third-Party Clients.
NOTE: Only blog owners can enable access. Authors that the blog owner added must wait for the owner to enable access before they can use remote blogging.
