AlphaBlog

Working!

Wow! Sitecopy rocks! About a billion times faster than mounting the .Mac iDisk through the finder on the macs. Sitecopy does an absolutely wonderful job of uploading all the modified files very quickly. I will try to incoporate this into the PUBLISH command for nanoblogger, though I think that it is actually fewer keystrokes to tell sitecopy to run directly than it is to run the publish command in NB.

Setting up sitecopy with the .Mac iDisk was not as straightforward as I thought it should be. I'm certain that if I understood better what was happening on either end, I would have realized the mistake. Anyway, the only site on the WWW that I found helpful was in Japanese. I'll summarize the necessary settings below:

site alphablog
server idisk.mac.com
protocol webdav
username xochitl
password pass
local fullpath/local/dir/
remote /idiskusername/Sites/alphablog

That's it! Fantastic little program. Now to get it working on the mac!
