Although Pebble has a comprehensive web-based administration interface, it also supports the MetaWeblog API for managing your blog content via compatible blogging clients. Examples here include NetNewsWire, ecto, w.bloggar and the J2ME Pebble moblog client.
 To enable this, click the Blog properties link after logging in. Towards the bottom of this page is a section entitled Blogger and MetaWeblog APIs where you can enable or disable the feature.
To ensure that only authorized people post to your blog, you need to define a username and password. When using a blogging client, you will be asked for this username and password to authenticate yourself. In addition to this, you will need to specify the XML-RPC API, XML-RPC URL for your blog and a blog ID. These values are displayed in the window, underneath the authentication information.
Uploading images and files
With the MetaWeblog API you can upload images and other files to your blog. By default, any files you upload will be stored underneath the blog.dir/images directory which is assessible through Pebble via the Images link that appears after logging in.
To explicitly specify where the file should be uploaded to, prefix the filename with images/ or files/ to store the file under the blog.dir/images or blog.dir/files respectively. If required, you can also specify a directory structure in the filename such as images/2004/someimage.jpg.
