WordPress is supported by most third-party blogging apps, such as Scribefire, Windows Live Writer, WordPress for IOS, or even Microsoft Word..
Turning on remote publishing to your blog
From your blog’s dashboard, click on Settings → Writing. In the Remote Publishing section, make sure “XML-RPC” is checked, and click “Save Changes”.
Getting your account passcode
From your blog’s dashboard, click on Users → My Profile. Down at the bottom of the page, you’ll see the Remote Publishing section. Take note of your passcode; you will need it when setting up your blogging app. If you don’t have a passcode, click “Generate a new passcode”.
Setting up your blogging app
After you’ve installed a blogging program, you will be asked to add your blog account. In most cases, you’ll only need three pieces of information for this, and can leave any other options alone:
- the URL to your blog, like
https://blog.uvm.edu/mynetid/. - username
- passcode
