How peculiar. Posting using w.bloggar and the MT API worked perfectly, which was not what I expected. Perhaps the problem lies within the del.icio.us posting device, as it’s hardly stable to begin with.

Still. How bothersome that MT blogs can post their del.icio.us links automatically in any number of ways, as daily posts or sidebar, and I am reduced to Javascript methods that can be turned off clientside (as mine often is) and never picked up by search engines or such. Javascript is such a bother in XHTML besides. But now I’m peevish in my geekiness and that just isn’t pretty.

I’ll have to play with the del.icio.us daily job doohicky some more. There’s a rumour it may use the Blogger API, in which case I don’t understand how it can handle categories at all. Oh, for a manual.

Testing Wordpress implementation of MovableType API. I’ve been running my del.icio.us bookmarks into here and trying to put them in their own category, but the links keep being dumped in General instead.

To test my theory that WordPress (or the multi-user implementation, at least) doesn’t respect the categories part of the MT API, I have set up w.bloggar to post to Blogsome as though it were an MT blog. Now to test.
