All it does is to scoop up the contents of a post and send it to this blog, formatted as suits me.<\/p>\n\n<p>But you can&rsquo;t, it turns out, communicate at all easily with an MT blog using Word. For why? Because the <span class=\"caps\">IDE <\/span>autocapitalises method names. So if the blog is expecting a request like &#34;<span class=\"sane\">g<\/span>etUsersBlogs()&#34; it won&rsquo;t &ndash; being software &ndash; understand when Word&rsquo;s Basic sends it a request to &#34;<span class=\"sane\">G<\/span>etUsersBlogs()&#34;. Would you believe there is no way to turn off or change this behaviour? Me neither. But we&rsquo;d both be wrong. However often I type &#34;getUsersBlogs&#34;, Word changes it as soon as I move the cursor off the line, or run the program.<\/p>\n\n<p>All that remains to make this perfect is for the comments page to fill up with linux weenies saying &#34;I told you so&#34;. To which the answer would involve <span class=\"caps\">GUI <\/span>toolkits for python, all lovely and open source, which simply don&rsquo;t bloody well work at all. Thank you.
