Livejournal support

[Chris Cox]

LiveJournal has support for a lot of external clients, but I can't make
Contribute work with it.
They even say that LiveJournal uses the blogger/atom APIs, but Contribute's
connection setup wizard wants to connect directly to blogger if you select that
API. Trying to specify "other" API and enter the access point directly doesn't
work either ([url]http://www.livejournal.com/interface/atom[/url]).

So, has anyone managed to make Contribute work with LiveJournal?

Why does Contribute not offer more common blog sites by default?
Why is there no alternative to the wizard for configuring a new site?

Bump.

Is anyone reading this forum?

Is anyone supporting Contribute?

Of course we are reading your post... I tried and managed to connect to
LiveJournal by using [url]http://www.livejournal.com/interface/blogger/[/url] and
providing my username and password.

I got a big error message while doing so, and a big error message when trying
to publish a blog entry... Contribute warns me to 'check the setting of the
blog-server account' and doesn't publish the post.

Maybe Contribute is not the only problem because LiveJournal states al lot of
ifs and thens on their comments:

I tried using Contribute 4 and CS3. Both came up with the same result and
errormessages, but stille contribute claims to have a connection and blames it
on the server of the blog if I interpret the message the rigth way...
