cbriggs: Thankyou, that explains a whole mess of stuff. I couldn't work out why it kept wanting to go out on the internet, when I just wanted to post stuff to my own (local) server. Why would I want Userland to host my blog? It's not like Blogger who are a company specially dedicated to the practice - Userland is just a software company. And if it is hosted by them, why does it have its own built-in web server (on port 5335)? Just to configure it? That seems extremely dumb to me. They've gone to the trouble to build a web server into it - ferchrustsake, run it off there, or run it off the proper built-in Mac OS X web server (ie: apache). Mac users are known for not bothering to read the doco, but when you claim something is easy to use, you better make sure it is or at least back up the claim with reasonable doco. When I couldn't figure it out just by fiddling, I specifically tried to use the doco and got nowhere. Obviously they're not interested in having me as a customer.
