Kubuntu 14.04 and KDE 4.13.1
It has been a while since I set up Blogilo to work with a blogspot-hosted blog. Since then I have made "clean installation" and now thought I would configure it again. Sadly Blogilo seems not to be maintained so the setup "wizard" for a blogspot account fails. After much searching I found this suggestion: ---------------- How to manually Configure BLOGILO (Blog manager for linux) for blogger.com 1)- Blog/Homepage URL- http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID ... 5323725410 (some thing like this, copy the URL after login on blogger and open design/loyout page for your specific blog) 2) USERNAME and PASSWORD -- abc@gmail.com and XXXXXXXX (as your login ID) ADVANCE- 1)- Select from dropdown box -- BLOGSPOT.COM 2)- Blog ID- enter from above URL, like (1853225125323725410) 3)- Text direction -- as u wish now OK option is appeared then click OK --------------------- This seems to "kind of work" in that it seems that Blogilo contacts the account, downloads titles of earlier posts and so on. But so far any attempt to post something is failing. Blogilo happily reports that the post has been submitted but nothing shows up on the blog, neither in Drafts or as a submitted post. Is anyone successfully using Blogilo with Blogspot or should I just give up and look for an alternative? |

Please run "kdebugdialog" and enable all areas.
Then, if you run Blogilo in a terminal when trying to submit a post, is anything output in the terminal which indicates why this may be happening?

Same problem.
openSUSE 13.1 (Tumbleweed) KDE 4.13.1
There is nothing interesting in terminal at first look… No errors. Only one wrong thing: after "success posting" notice, blogilo fetching my last post's postID (from dec 12 2012) |

Could you try tailing ~/.xsession-errors as well? I suspect the error messages we are looking for in this case will be from KIO, and those will only be output there.

Blogilo output (Starred strings is about my old post):
~/.xsession-errors

apologies for going all quiet. It seems Kubuntu is not using xsession-error but I can not for the life of me remember what it has been replaced with. Soon as I find out will contribute logs

BTW, upgrading to KDE 4.13.2 don't fixes this issue.

Unfortunately that log doesn't indicate why Blogilo is failing to post to Blogspot.
One possibility is that the ClientLogin interface is no longer supported and one needs to use OAuth to interact with Google services. If so, the only way to get this fixed is to file a bug report and hope that someone investigates and fixes the issue. Unfortunately I think Blogilo is unmaintained.

there is an old bugreport regarding blogspot integration:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298003 and I and others have added to that. Sadly I think you are right and Blogspot has become "abandonware". As I can read from other comments it still works well with eg WordPress but Blogspot not |

Good news to all Blogilo and Blogger users! Actually, bug 298003 was recently fixed: Blogilo: Use the new Blogger backend for blogspot.com instead of GData (http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kdepim.git&a ... be5b220ea5) So, just a little bit of patience, and KDE 4.14 will bring this fix:) Yay!!! |

the really good part is of course that someone has taken up maintenance - though I really would have loved to see it backported to 4.13.x |

Of course.
It would be nice. Saying as KDE 4.13.2 user. |
