Critter's Cave

While I’m still going to be updating my progress in getting fit, I’m going to be doing it at Fat Secret because they have a purty app for my Droid phone that will let me update near instantly! Oh yeah, they have a lot of other tools that make sense to me and give me the particular info I need to manage my condition effectively. Like everywhere else, I’m critter42 over there.

I’m posting this as a reference for anyone searching for how to configure FeedDemon’s ‘Send To’ feature to work with WordPress 2.9 and up.  The instructions on the Newsgator website/knowledge base are outdated.

1. In FeedDemon (current version as of this writing is 3.1.0.12), click the gear icon (“choose newspaper icons”) below the title of any post and in the popup window click “Send To”.
2. Click on the Send To icon, “Blog This Item”, then “Configure Blog Publishing Tools.”
3. Click Add
4. Put something in the Description field  - it doesn’t matter what, just so you know what it is
5. In Command Line or URL, enter the following address:
   http://www.mywebsite.com/wordpressfolder/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=post&content=$ITEM_DESCRIPTION_PLAIN$&post_title=$ITEM_TITLE$
   where “www.mywebsite.com” is the location of your WordPress blog and ‘wordpressfolder’ is the subfolder your WordPress folder is installed  - usually just ‘wordpress’ (you may or may not have this folder depending on how your site is configured)
6. You can click “Set as default” if desired, then click OK and OK again.

You are now set to post to your WordPress blog from within FeedDemon’s newspaper.

Yep, this is another test entry to check some settings out.
Nothing to see here…move along
