Metablog working on DNJ?....

Metablog.ashx having been implemented at last for DNJ, I'm naturally doing a little test of posting from the desktop.

In the meantime I've been working on adding Community Server web service support to Diarist, to cover those sites that don't have the MetaWeblog API enabled. It's leading me to confront a design issue that I've also been presented with by my intention of adding Atom support for Blogger: how best to handle multiple APIs for a single blog engine (both from the point of view of storing config information, and presenting a UI to users to let them choose which one they want).
This is actually good news for anyone who's being waiting for me to add an Atom implementation, or just fix the dreaded Titles-With-Blogger issue (in most cases the logical solution is just to use PocketBlogger, but some people might want the support for additional blog engines): it's building up critical mass behind me actually making the necessary changes to do it in a non-horrible manner. I was going to leave it until the CF2 version, but now I think I might as well get on with it.
