Wow . . . thanks so much . . . this is really cool. I will hopefully be blogging more often to my CF blog. I owe you something from your wishlist when I get a paying job again.

And meanwhile . . . how about multiple blog accounts? And anyone try this plugin with MovableType blogs?

Very cool idea!

Dave -

Oh man, that's right windows can't handle ":" in file names. Damn. That's because when you create a new post it auto makes a project for you named "Blog: [yourblogname]".

Bugger, good catch. I just updated the code and ran the nightly build script. It should now make a folder named "Blog - [your blog name]" which, I think, is ok on windows.

I am getting an error message in Eclipse on Vista on clicking Finish after setting a title for a new post:

": is an invalid character in resource name Blog: BlogName"

I don't have a : in my blog title, so I'm not sure where it's coming from. Great work on the demo video -- looks like an awesome plugin.

Cool, that worked perfectly - thanks Mark :)

I added that and last night updated the entry table so it sorts by date by default. I just ran the nightly build script and updated the plugin if anyone is interested (same link on the afae page).

To make it look like a password field you just have to add (to a text box)

.setEchoChar('*');

Great stuff Rob!
