While I realize that creating and maintaining a free service such as Bloglet is difficult, I have given up using Bloglet. First it wasn't sending out email notifications, now it doesn't except subscriptions. It takes subscriptions on the bloglet site, strangely enough.

MT doesn't have a configurable interface for notification and it isn't automatic. Blogarithm's service works well and has since 2002. Any one have issues with their notify service?

Need a PHP script that will run all the time, see if I've updated and send out an email to a list of emails from a file or a single email account that I maintain as a list.

I see that Bloglet's down again and has been for awhile. Any luck on finding an alternative?

I used to love Bloglet, then it stopped working altogether. The author used to reply to e-mails, but doesn't seem to anymore. I wish someone else offered a similar service - or it was better integrated into Movable Type.

I had set up a special login for bloglet (set it up as an author so I could restrict access to other things in my mt intall, etc) don't know if you did the same - if you did - try logging in with that account to make sure it's still working…

Other than that - I would strongly recommend sending an email to the guy that runs that. He's got a contact form on there. He takes awhile to get back to you, but he did eventually return my emails…

I have been having trouble too, not receiving peoples or even sending mine out…

When I run a test connection, this is the error that I receive. I do have it pointed to the mt-xmlrpc.cgi file…

ERROR: The server returned the error below:

[The server at http://quidnunc.tznet.com/weblog/mt-xmlrpc.cgi generated the following error]:
[request: blogger.getRecentPosts nokey 1 xxxx yyyy 20 ]

yeah, I know… I'm reluctant to remove that whole thing from the sidebar because it was such a great idea and program - but it's getting a bit frustrating that it's not working anymore at all… I noticed to that the DAY I "fixed" the script - I stopped getting ANY bloglet emails… figures!!

I'll have to hunt around for something similar…

Actually, I'm not sure Bloglet is working at *all* anyway. I haven't gotten an update from this site or from my own since 12/04/2002 - those both have had new entries posted since then (and I don't link to mt-xmlrpc.cgi, but to my index.rdf file - that's how Monsur set it up for me, to use the RSS feed option.) =(

Didn't even get a Bloglet update for this entry here!

Thanks for the info! I wondered what happened, and I couldn't figure out why my weren't working either! I think when we first signed up it was supposed to point to mt.cgi - matter of fact, I'm almost positive. I like the change though, so now I just need to put it in place!
