The software that this website is based on will work with most major blog clients to create blog entries, mission reports, and other pages.

1. Configure your blog client as you would with any other blog. Here are the details:

   API Type: MetaWebLog API
   AccountPoint: http://bloom.apl.washington.edu/xmlrpc.php

2. Use the same username and password that you do for any other operations with the site.
3. Don't forget to set the categories for your posts.
4. You'll see a 'blog entry' blog, a 'mission reports' blog, and some other choices. Choose the blog for the type of entry you want to create or edit. That's just the metaphor a blog client uses to show different creation options.
