Re: [gnome-love] A good program to write a tutorial about?

[chris <me blixtra org>]

Hi there,

That all sound OK.  You'll have to explain exactly what you're 
envisioning, however.  I don't have a blog but I have worked a bit with 
xml. 

I'm thinking you want something that lets you add blog entries from the 
desktop without having to open up the browser.  Like this program called 
"Radio Userland" that I just found on the net.  Is this right?

Also, I'd very strongly prefer doing this in C.  Is that a problem for 
you.  I know python pretty well but I'd really like to use C because 
that's one of the reasons I'm learning Gnome and not KDE.

Cheers,
Chris
