Forwarding here.. for the record.
Just in case someone has a comment about it.
I know nothing about blogger buzzwords.

Hi Allen.

Yes I've recently worked on it a bit. Actually I had to fix a lot of things 
due to porting to library code and kdelibs4/qt4. I've put everything not 
related to the public functions in seperate private classes and the headers 
are now 'clean'. A first unit test for Blogger API 1.0 works with all server 
side supported functions and I've started fixing the code for validity 
checking of the server response structure. I've also added some more 
functionality for a clearer signal behaviour.
Currently my goal is to:
-clean the API up a little bit more
-fix the unit test
-port the MetaweblogAPI port to a copy of the new Blogger API structure (clean 
it up in the same way)
-add Documentation for Doxygen
-copy and adjust the unit test of Blogger API to MetaweblogAPI

Well this actually adds no new functionality compared to previous KBlogger 
code, but making a sane lib out of it seems to be a bit more complicated than 
hacking a kicker applet.
I hope to add Blogger API 2.0 support, but this needs a working Atom API 
pendant to KXmlRPCClient, which could be very hard work for me.
Additionally I have no idea about KDEPIM code and I would be grateful for any 
help by adding a KJournal resource for blogging backends.
Once Plasma is implemented (and I have time), I will try to program a similar 
applet like KBlogger for KDE 4. I don't know how and if one should add other 
language bindings, too?

Well thanks for your interest, I wasn't sure if trying to wrap around messed 
up blog-server APIs makes that much sense sometimes. I hope I could satisfy 
your question. I haven't been focused on programming for some time, but 
currently I want to make the KBlog-library at least usable until KDE 4 (my 
current target for the list above is April). 
I hope that works,
cheers,

whilo
