A common problem when setting up a Movable Type blog is entering the wrong password. Movable Type is unusual in that it requires a separate, web services password when logging in from an application such as MarsEdit. To locate the password, log in to your Movable Type administration panel on the web, and look inside your user settings.
The API Endpoint URL is usally http://[site]/mt-xmlrpc.cgi
, where [site] is the path to your site.
If this doesn’t work, take a look inside your Movable Type directory on the blog server, to see where the mt-xmlrpc.cgi
file is installed.
For instance, if the URL looks like this:
http://example.com/mt/mt.cgi?__mode=menu&blog_id=6
Then the Blog ID is 6, the number immediately following the blog_id=
part.
