Some clients require the user to insert the XML-RPC URL in order to work. Dreamwidth's is at http://www.dreamwidth.org/interface/xmlrpc

Other clients use the Blogger api. The url for that is at http://www.dreamwidth.org/interface/blogger

Client	Platforms	Current DW status	Open Source	Notes
Deepest Sender	All; based on FireFox.	Works	Yes
Charm	Python based command line client	Should work, but untested	Yes, GPL
Semagic	Windows client	Might work, untested	Yes, GPL	Very popular client
Petrus Blogger	Multiplatform, in Java	Might work with little modification; current LJ compatible servers hard coded in interface and include IJ and Rossia.org. Logs into IJ okay but couldn't get working with LJ itself.	Yes, BSD	Looks to be made for Russian first, English second. Well designed Java for the Mac.
Logjam	Multiplatform, GTK+ 2	Works	Yes, GPL v2	Currently not maintained, but for many Linux distributions, it is the default Livejournal client.
Gnome-Blog (aka Blog Entry Poster)	Linux (Gnome)	Works	Yes, GPL	Livejournal is hard-coded into software, using DW requires setting up a "Self-run other" type account. Does not support any info besides Entry title and entry body, e.g. no tags, mood, etc.
Drivel	Linux (Gnome)	Works	Yes, GPL v2	Currently not maintained, does not support tags or multiple security levels
