TextRouter README
=================
What is it ?
============
TextRouter is a generic weblogging and text "routing" application.
It's main use is for posting to Blogger and/or Manila maintained
weblogs. It is designed to be the sort of app which is kept running
the whole time; the idea being that if you find a piece of text you'd
like to send somewhere, you can simply copy and paste it into
TextRouter and send it on its way.
Some screen shots are available at:

1 New/Edit/Delete posts on Blogger accounts.
2 Flip/get/set/add to Manila homepages. (Multiple accounts

3 Email text. (prefdefined addresses supported)
Things that are planned:

2 more support for Manila specific features.
3 routing to RSS Files on the local disk
Blogger
=======
Blogger (http://www.blogger.com) is a free service which allows a
user to easily maintain a weblog on their website. When you update
your weblog (either via a web based form or a client like this one)
Blogger takes care of updating all the HTML, archiving old posts, and
FTP'ing the data to your website.
Manila
======
Manila (http://manila.userland.com) is a Content Management System
from Userland Software, Inc. While Manila can manage whole websites,
it has a number of specific features for maintaining weblog type
sites. There is a list of companies that provide Manila hosting at:
http://www.edithere.com/directory/22/websiteHostingServices/manila.
Requirements
============
TextRouter is written using the PythonCard framework
(http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net) which you will need to download
if you didn't get this app as part of PC.
PythonCard in turn relies on Python (http://www.python.org),
wxWindows (http://www.wxwindows.org) and wxPython
(http://www.wxpython.org).
The only other requirement is the Python XML-RPC library from
PythonWare (http://www.pythonware.com/products/xmlrpc/).
Details
=======
Availability: Get the sources from the CVS repository on the
PythonCard Sourceforge page. When the app is a little more stable, a
windows exe package may be assembled.
