Hello,
MIDlog 0.4 has just been released. It is a minor release, fixing a bug and adding Blog Auto-Discovery. This feature allows the user to add a lot of blogs in a single step. Just choose your blog type, enter Username/Password (maybe the URL if adding a Movable Type or Generic Blogger API weblog) and MIDlog will list all the blogs your username has access to. All you must do then is to choose which of the blogs you want to add, and they're saved in your blog database. It makes the task of adding blogs so much easier that I'm kicking myself for not having put it there before :D
The source code for both client and server sides is available for download in Source Forge.
If you have any questions, comment here or shoot me an e-mail.
Download MIDlog 0.4 with your phone at http://rawsocket.org/midlog.wml or at Getjar.com
Enjoy!

MIDlog has just been added to j2me-software.com. Thanks to Norman Hartmann, j2me-software.com owner, for that.
I tested it many times and there was really a problem with the jar file that getjar.com provided to the users. They seem to be editing the manifest file (where an important application property was being stored) and removing any parameter that's not standard, thus provoking an error ("java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Null URL") when MIDlog tries to access the Internet via HTTP.
I changed the source code, hardcoding the app property into the MIDlog source, and that solved the problem. Now you can download MIDlog from Rawsocket site (http://rawsocket.org/midlog.wml) and from wap.getjar.com and they will both work perfectly.
I started working in 0.4 release, which will bring some new features, specially related to the user interface when adding a new blog (I plan to implement something I saw in w.bloggar: mass blog addition) and maybe support for the ATOM API.
I'm also doing research about Mobile Media API to develop a version of MIDlog that can post pictures, which is something a lot of people have been asking.
Stay tuned :)
I tried to download MIDlog jar from GetJar.com and I ran into problems in my phone. More specifically, the application could not find ServletURL parameter when connecting to the HTTP server.
Has anyone been facing the same problems? If so, please get in touch and I will contact GetJar to see what's going on. They have a kind of cumbersome interface when we're adding a new product: they won't take our .jad files, instead, they create a new one and ask me to type the parameters needed by the application in a textbox.
Downloading MIDlog from http://rawsocket.org/midlog.wml is working fine, so it if you run into trouble with GetJar, please download it from Rawsocket site.
