The APIs are quite simple, they are based on XML-RPC requests to the server. The good news is that the XML-RPC implementation is available in Firefox, so there’s no need to implement that part. The bad news is the support of other browsers, although I’m fine having only Firefox supported.

To post to a blog using any of these API one needs only to instantiate the XML-RPC connector, set the connection parameters and then just call some remote method using XML-RPC, passing the blog post contents and other information (e.g. tags) in the parameters.

I think it should be possible to add a button “post to blog” for the tiddlers with some tag (like “post-to:blog-id”), but I still don’t know a lot about internals of TW to understand how to do that, neither I don’t know how to extract the formatted HTML of the tiddler contents.

Another idea for syntax coloring is to use the highlight.js. Although it doesn’t have Haskell syntax coloring, it shouldn’t be hard to implement it.

It’s a bit hard to track the comments here, should you have any ideas, just send me a note to Ivan.Tarasov@gmail.com.

i do have some nice tools for formatting haskell code in tiddlers. see my online journal for plugins and sample uses.

i’ve been looking for collaboration in some fun Haskell+TiddlyWiki ideas. i’m imagining TW-based browsing of collections of Haskell source code. syntax-colored, fully hyperlinked to definitions & docs, and comments with formatting & images. possibilities abound. interested?

Still, I’m not sure what do I need to do to have a nice syntax coloring/formatting of the code embedded in tiddlers.

Then I feed it through HsColor which will make it look pretty and does all the right tagging for me. I then submit the HTML to Blogger.

It works fine, as long as you are used to HTML.
