^^^ BTW, you don't need to compile it from sources. Its already there in the repos. Just install it via Synaptic or run this command in terminal: sudo apt-get install blogtk

 

[iMav]

ah thanks for that ....

 

[infra_red_dude]

Its interface is not flashy as live writer, but a simple one

 

[iMav]

also setting it up is difficult live writer has a better walk through wizard

The server URL should be in this form:
'*www.yoursite.com/mt/mt-xmlrpc.cgi' (or '*www.blogger.com/api/RPC2'
for Blogger users).

Also here are 5 bloggin software for OSS: *beans.seartipy.com/2007/11/12/desktop-blogging-editors-for-gnulinux-users/

Edit: 5 more software with flashier interface *beans.seartipy.com/2007/11/15/five-more-desktop-blog-editors-for-gnulinux-users/

i hope u get the difference

 

[infra_red_dude]

Everything seems fine. But what has happend to the overall font? They look dizzy!!! The system wide font settings were fine in your previous screenshots.

I'm really clueless as to what you fugged up regarding font settings. Mebbe you should backup your bookmarks etc., and then delete ~/home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox folder to reset the settings. See if it helps you.

Also try playing with Appearances > Fonts > Rendering.

You can also try resetting the fonts by gi or runnin th e command: sudo fc-cache and then sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config.

You may wanna read this guide too: *www.howtoforge.com/sharp_fonts_gnome

Guys full fugged

i changed my xorg.conf acc to infra's link and added the extra line

#    DisplaySize    338    270    # 1280x1024 96dpi

now i left my machine on for dwnlding a torrent and got up in the morning only to see a full black screen with a cursor blinking (cursor='_')

i did a hard reboot and chose ubuntu only to be given some text and

grub>_

so i did a hard reboot again this time it gave me ubuntu's boot screen for some time and then again hung at full black screen and a blinking cursor .... i went back into xp and thought re-doing the xorg.conf changes only to find that i dont have write access to the drive

wat to do

Install Ex2FS for WIndows, then u will be able to read & write the files of Linux partition provided that the file system is EXT2 or EXT3, then go to the path & edit the file in notepad then save.
