I've done a lot of research and gone through most of the drupal site, so please bear with me. I'm a 100% newbie here, and I just launched my own community site using drupal.
I'm looking for/trying to make a module that lets users manage multiple blogs, on different servers.
For Example:
I have a blog on Blogger.com and Ahste.com(Drupal Site)
I do not wish to 'import' my Blogger blog to my Drupal blog, I wish to have both running as mirrors.
I need to modify blog.module(or create a new module), so that each user can maintain a list of external blogs which he can publish to when he posts a personal blog entry on drupal.
This external publishing may be done by:
1. A general method, for all blogs supporting the XML-RPC specification. [I have "no clue" how to do this]
2. By simply e-mailing the personal blog entry when it is published to a pre-defined email address (set by the user, as the location of his external blog)
The second method would not be a general solution, but would solve the problem for "ALL" Blogger.com users trying to move towards Drupal. Blogger.com provides all its users with an email account of the type username.secretname@blogger.com where they can simply email a blog post. This post is extremely simple, where the subject of the email is the email and the body of the mail is the blog entry.
