gnome-blog, version 0.8 has support for WordPress blogs. However, it seems that selecting wordpress appends “wordpress/xmlrpc.php” to the URL.

An article about Gaim hit Slashdot again a few days ago.
You can find the article here: A First Look at Gaim 2.0 [linux.com]

The Slashdot article is here: A First Look at Gaim 2.0 [slashdot.org]
In general, when Gaim hits Slashdot, lots of users spend lots of time making lots of comments. Many of these comments represent honest questions, many are completely irritating, and a few can be very insightful.
