Check This Out...

Check this out. It's real time trough the Hawaii Stories' XML-RPC interface.

Recent posts to Hawaii Stories as of now.

Other than auto posting, there's not much else I can do with what I learned, mainly becase MovableType doesn't let you do very much through the interface. Now, if we were to hack the code a little, I'm sure we can customize Hawaii Stories' end to do what we want. But I digress.

Cool, Peter. I couldn't figure out how to work the XML-RPC thing at all. My level of understanding stops at "it has something to do with databases."

The RSS-via-JavaScript solution from "RSSMonkey" is about as complicated as I can handle!

Looking forward to your first non-Meta post, Peter. :) (And, for that matter, a first post of any kind from plenty other folks! No shame, brah!)

It's actually not that complicated once I saw what was coming back from Hawaii Stories.

The biggest drawback with the interface (unless you can dig it up somewhere) is that it's not very MoveableType friendly.

The interface only goes as far as allowing someone to post a Blog style post, which means no Subject field. You would think MoveableType would have made provisions to support their own log format, but I guess not.
