We just heard from Lawrence Lee of Zoundry that their Blog Writer app has been updated to support SSL and Blogger's AtomAPI. It's a Windows app for doing WYSIWYG blogging from the desktop.

Steve Novoselac just wrote in to let us know that PocketBlogger's been updated to support Blogger's Atom API and secure authentication via SSL.

PocketBlogger is a PocketPC Blogger client.

Our friends at The Robot Co-op just released Web Services. for 43Things. Fun!

Google Code launched today; here's DiBona's Google Blog post:

We're very happy to be launching code.google.com today. To begin, we're releasing some developer-oriented libraries and tools. Google developers use these every day to make their programs easier to debug, faster, and more reliable. A number of engineers have used their 20% time to ready these tools for release, and will also help build the communities we hope will form around them.

We're also featuring links to all current Google APIs. Come check them out and if you'd like more information, please join our group, subscribe to our feeds, or if you're shy, email us directly. And happy coding!

Nice! Adriaan just released an updated version of Ecto for both Mac and Windows, which supports SSL authentication.

A long-overdue Atom API update just went live. Aside from lots of bug fixes, full i18n support is present via UTF-8, and authentication now works securely via Basic HTTP Auth over SSL at the Atom endpoint: https://www.blogger.com/atom

Documentation is live too, and feel free to post to the BloggerDev list if you need technical assistance. Be sure to search the list archives first however, in case your issue has already been addressed. Note that Post Titles now work seemlessly via the API.

We've already been testing an updated version of Adriaan Tijsseling's Ecto, and we'd love to hear from anyone else making progress with their Blogger/Atom apps. You can email us at support AT blogger.com, subject=BDN.

Thanks for your patience as we've worked on shipping this API milestone!
