Haha. Well said. It's the only alliance left that protects a system-gaming mentality.

Is Not Possible. DL is the BEST! Oh wait, UA was the BEST 6 months ago. CO was the BEST in between the two. :rolleyes:

It really is a pretty powerful tool.

If Live Writer is Atom or XML-RPC capable, then it would plug directly into WordPress.

The administration side, like MBM3 said, is the issue and I have many times questioned my use of the software. There are great plugins, a great community, and overall it's a decent piece of code, but there are times that I just want to delete my installation and start from scratch.

I was transferred over to a very curt agent who did not ever give me her name. But she was effficient and made the change in 5 minutes, whereas previous agent (who was very polite) took over half an hour and made no changes.

Crap, just realised they ticketed the outbound for the wrong date. :mad:

I don't know what that means. I just know that I point it to my WP-based blog URL, type in my username and PW when prompted and it can post to that blog. Ther is no plug-in or anything like that.

Actually, that is another thing that it does have - plugins. There are plugins for a variety of external resources. My most frequently used one is the integration to SmugMug where I can integrate pictures that link back to that source on the fly. Super convenient.

Nah...all in O and I. But I should have the TK/9W suites. I'm incredibly excited about that. And the reward actually is pricing for less than the published reward chart costs right now. I'm not sure what's up with that. I fully expect that will be fixed by tomorrow when I call to actually have the tickets issued.

With this redemption I'll have cashed in just under 500,000 miles for reward travel this year (or just over if they fix the reward costs). That's pretty ridiculous.

It's XML-RPC compatible then (XML-RPC is just a way of talking to websites).

Indeed. My 2009 redemptions have included:

2x RTW J (440,000 CO)
IAH-ATL-SCL; EZE-IAH J (90,000 CO)
SCL-EZE J (25,000 BA)
IAH-CDG-PRG-JFK; LGA-CLE-IAH J (90,000 CO - Priced out weird)
IAH-SEA-YVR-AMS-DFW-IAH J (80,000 CO)
IAH-ORD-IST-CAI-JNB J (75,000 BD)
WVB-CPT-LHR J (37,500 BD)

837,500 in all. I didn't realize I was blowing through them so quickly. :-:
