Anybody tried this? I really like (tried it with other blog software), but I would like to use with Serendipity...

A forum search shows that others have gotten it to work without too much effort:

And, if you can read German:

Sure, it works fine. Install it and set your blog up as "Custom (Moveable Type API). Make sure you have the xmlrpc plugin installed in Serendipity. When it asks for the URL to post, it will be something like this :

http://my.cool.blog.com/serendipity/ser ... xmlrpc.php

Give it your login info and you're good to go. Categories, keywords (tags), and trackbacks all seem to work fine.

Enjoy!
