;; To set up your profile:

;;    M-x weblogger-setup-weblog RET

;; You will be prompted for some information.  The URL should be the
;; one that uses the API you're using, not the one you would use for

;; <blog-url>/xmlrpc.php.

It's not very good, but it would have saved *me* some time.

I notice the documentation continues:

;; You can save this setup
;; using M-x customize-save-customized. *** FIXME: Make sure this works!

It doesn't seem to be necessary; after a successful
weblogger-setup-weblog, I have a line:

 '(weblogger-config-alist (quote (("sp" ("user" . "admin")
 ("server-url"
 . "http://serpentpublications.org/wordpress/xmlrpc.php";) ("weblog"
 . "1"))))))

in my .emacs file.
