First post from Flock
Frist post! I've finally got Flock's blog editor working with Drupal... I think it was down to several bugs in blogapi fixed recently. I'm pleasantly surprised: it all works really nicely. The editor is good, I can view the node types I can post as well as download a list of categories on my site to post to.
Its still lacking a couple of things - I obviously can't change any Drupal related settings from Flock, such as published, sticky or new revision. I can't add attachments to posts, hence why this one hasn't got an image over on the top right.
Its all looking good, anyway. I'm not convinced I could use it for development, and I still have concerns about the lack of organisation of favourites (how about a browse-by-tag menu tree? Recent Favourites doesn't always provide when you've not visited it for some time)... but perhaps I'm still clinging on to the old way of doing things. A bit like me not using Windows' My Documents folders et al for my data. Its old-school c:\work\web... for me all the way. I like to be tidy and organised, and to know where I've put stuff.

Post, um, post
OK, a thought after posting that from Flock. The formatting of the post is nice, and relatively clean. Whats wrong with
<em>and<strong>though? Why usespans?And I was a little upset to see a <p><br /></p> in there as well...
I use Markdown via the Marksmarty module to filter content on this site, purely because the syntax is simple, quite flexible and is still very legible in its source form. Obviously, using this as the default filter format on this site causes problems when posts submitted from Flock are sent as clean HTML. However, thats down to site set-up and user preferences rather than anything else on Flock's side of things.
Overall: nicely done.
Still doesn't work for me :(
Which version of Drupal/Flock are you using? I still get the 'You must supply a valid date' message....
Other than that, Flock is pretty nice...
