   Hi, I'm having some trouble with Post Preview on Blogilo 1.0 (Mandriva 2010.0). It was working fine, but I changed my CSS stylesheet so I asked Blogilo to "Get blog style." Now I see the front page of my blog in the preview tab instead of the preview of the post I'm working on. My blog is running on Wordpress and I'm using the Metaweblog API. Is this a known problem?

   Thanks,
   Chris

   Your server should set the postUrl of test post (published to get style) correctly! and then Blogilo will try to fetch that page, and insert your post Text and title into that html code!

   Hi mtux, thanks for responding. If I understand you correctly, you're saying that my Wordpress installation is passing an incorrect value to Blogilo when it asks for the postUrl?

   Sorry for my ignorance (I knew I would regret tagging this with "bug"), but I think I don't understand the process of previewing a post. If I can understand better, maybe I'll be able to track down the problem, or at least ask an intelligent question on a Wordpress forum.

   For example, I thought that Blogilo would have static information on the structure of the page (widgets and content in the sidebar, plus the css), which would only be updated if I hit "get blog style." In that case, I didn't think it needed to talk to my server again when I ask for a post preview without submitting the post.

   Was I wrong about that? Does Blogilo upload the test post to the server for previewing?

   Thanks,
   Chris

   When you hit "get blog style", blogilo sends a test post to your blog, then fetches your blog style using the test post url, and stores the data in an html file.
   After that, Each time you switch to preview tab, it replaces the test post content by the editor content in that file, and shows the result.
   In fact after getting style, blogilo refers to the web just to fetch remote images or other links in the blog html file.

   Ah, thanks. That makes sense. So possibly my server confused itself temporarily. "Get blog style" has worked again and I'm not going to touch it if I can help it because the fast preview is one of the best things about using Blogilo.
