Serendipity and Windows Live Writer

The number of blog software which supports the Windows Live Writer is increasing by another blog software, Serendipity. First you need the XML-RPC plugin. Unfortunately the Windows Live Writer doesn’t detect Serendipity even after you install the plugin, so you have to do it manually.

Add a new blog or if it is the first blog you are adding the window will appear automatically.

Unfortunately it doesn’t detect Serendipity automatically. You have to do it by yourself.

Choose "Movable Type API" as weblog type

In the field below enter http://{full path to Serendipity}/serendipity_xmlrpc.php where you have to enter the url to you weblog without the { }

Finish

Note: If you don’t want to setup an ftp connection and use the Windows Live Writer to upload the photos, just create a folder "WindowsLiveWriter" inside the folder "upload" and give it write rights (666).
