ScribeFire and Blogger

I have been recently using the ScribeFire add-on for FireFox to easily blog. But when I had my machine reloaded I forgot to bring over my settings for FireFox. So I had to setup my ScribeFire account again. Since I have my own domain name registered and not a xxx.blogspot.com address, since I use Blogger to get to manage my site, you have to change the Blogger API Url string to get the feed to go to your site correctly. It is a simple line.

http://www.blogger.com/feeds/blogID/posts/default

All you have to do is replace the "blogID" section with your blogger ID. To find this, simply view the source of your main page and look for the line of
"rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" 
href="http://www.blogger.com/rsd.g?blogID=XXXXXXXXX"

And read the blogID section... that is your Blog number in Bloggers system.
Put that ID in the above line and you should be good to go.
