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