To use this code follow this steps :

• Clone this reposotory.

The user/credentials (login and password) is created when you configure your blog in Open Live Writer. The login and password passed will set the first user.

If you want to change or delete those credentials. Juste remote it from the Publisher table of your database. Edit your Open Live Writer account and it will create a new credential.

If you are writing a long post, it can be split in two parts (with a link at the end of the first part "read more"). The choice to split this post isn't made by the blog engine. it is your choice.

To split a post in two part, you have to edit the HTML of the post. First part should be inside <summary></summary>. The second part should be behind the </summary>.

Easy no?
