Publish to Blogger from ICE: A look at how you can publish using the APP from ICE

In a soon to be released update of ICE you will be able to publish using the ATOM Publishing Protocol (APP) to blogger and other systems that support the APP. I (Daniel) have already been using ICE to publish directly into the developers blog and will be from now on. At the moment it only publishes HTML (no media resources), but you'll find that Blogger and other weblog services are also limited to this, for now at least.

As mentioned in the last cycle notes using the APP opens up huge potential for us to publish to institutional repositories more easily for the ICE-RS project. We have already started working on a command line version of ICE that when plugged into our ICE toolbar means you be able to publish directly from your word processor (Word, OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice) to your blog, or your local repository without all the overheads normally required with ICE. Best of all it will be nice clean and light weight XHTML with bonus PDF.

You can view a demo of how I published the ICE-RS cycle notes here.
