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.

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:

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.
