Docs For Class Services

[line 45]
Generic package for several Blogging APIs.

Create a new instance via Services_Blogging::factory($driver, $username, $password, $server, $path), or more easy via Services_Blogging::discoverDriver($url, $username, $password) .

Note that some Blogging APIs allow multiple blogs with one account. These drivers implement Services_Blogging_MultipleBlogsInterface

you need to call setBlogId($id) before you can use the driver in that case.
