…that flickr can blog your mobile phone pictures? This is a shot from the bridge to the entrance to the Benihana’s near TI on Forest Lane. We went there for Keith’s birthday which was a while ago. The landscaping at this place is really well done and must be very expensive. Plus they have real fish in their pond, possibly Coy but I can’t identify fish species.

Wow, that was horrible! The formatting is all wrong and the picture didn’t even come through! Ack!

The problem is that the Flickr posting service or the Wordpress API escaped every single quote mark and double quote mark (even the ones in the HTML) and added a break for every newline and new feed.

So this “service” is really not all that useful is Worpdress is going to fark it up so bad that I have to hand edit it everytime I post. I might as well not post it then, or wait until I’m at a computer I can upload the image and then edit the entry from.

Maybe you botched the setup. I posted plenty of pictures to my blogsome account from Flickr, with no problems.
For reference, here’s my setup (for blogsome):
Blog Type/Service: MetaWeblogAPI
Endpoint: http://shughes.blogsome.com/xmlrpc.php

Just noticed that “Wordpress” is an option now.. when I set mine up, There wasn’t a choice for wordpress. So, either Wordpress needs to be configured to stop escaping, or Flickr does. Since you can just re-set it up on Flickr, I would do that.

It just occured to me why blogsome is ‘over-escaping’ everything. The xmlrpc.php is, apparently, a favorite entry point for crackers (not crusty white folks, but script kids). So, to be on the safe side, they just over escape. Keeps you from doing:
username = “”; drop table *;”"
Where their sql query might be:
SELECT * FROM tblUsers WHERE Username=”$username”
