Chapter 4 Working with Content 41
Using a Blog Editing Application
Instead of using the blog to create and edit blog posts, you can use desktop blog
editing applications such as MarsEdit or ecto. These applications allow you to write
content while you’re offline, and then upload when you connect to the blog server.
Blog editing applications must be compatible with MetaWeblog API.
Configure your editor using the following information:
RPC access point: http:// Â serverDNSname/RPC2
User name or blog ID: Your user name or the name of your group Â
MarsEdit requires the following configuration:
RPC access point: http:// Â serverDNSname/RPC2
Blogid for user blogs: user/ Â username/weblog
Blogid for group blogs: groups/ Â groupname/weblog
For more information about MetaWeblog API, see RFC: MetaWeblog API at

Viewing or Restoring Older Versions of a Page
Every time someone edits and saves a wiki page or blog post, a version of the page is
saved in the page’s history. Each version includes the following page information:
Content Â
Author Â
Date and time the page was saved Â
Version comment Â
Because every version of the page is saved, you can compare the current version of the
page with older versions to see what changed. If you don’t like what changed, you can
restore an older version of the page. If you restore an older version and later decide
you prefer the newer version, the new version still exists, so you can restore it.
You can’t delete page versions. Because you can’t delete page versions, it isn’t possible
for someone to edit the page without the page history tracking who changed the
page and what they changed.
To view or restore previous versions of a page:
1 While viewing a page, click the View Document History (>) button at the upper-left
of the page.
2 Select the version of the page you want to view.
