If you have a blog you might know about the MetaWeblog API. I implemented it for Tech Head Brothers portal to be able to post news from a client. Today I am using Live Writer to post on my blog and I also wanted to have the possibility to post news on the new version of Tech Head Brothers portal but with pictures and without the usage of a ftp server.

Checking the API I found a new method that I had not implemented: newMediaObject.

I downloaded for the first time the new version of Internet Explorer and I find quite cool.

OK I fixed my main issue. I wasn’t able to have my plugin loaded by Jetbrains Omea, and it seems that it is linked with the .NET Framework 2.0 that I use in my plugin, even if Omea Reader is running using .NET Framework 2.0 somehow it can’t verify the plugin.
