Version 1.1.5 is out with the following changes:

Released on 05 mar 2018.

• Better error handling.
• Reports error message from Blogger, when there is one.
• Added localization field for 'No posts found' string.
• When no posts are found, a 'No posts found'-string will be shown. If you do not want this message displayed, simply empty the corresponding localization field.
• The categories-list is now sorted case-insensitive. Categories in Blogger are case-sensitive!
• Added a category-filter to only show posts and an archive-list of specific categories. If you specify more than 1 categpry (comma-separated), only posts which have all specified categories will be listed.

  This means that you can clean-up the 'files' folders inside your blog-folders.
  To do this, first republish all your blog-pages with RW, then start your FTP client. Open your site folder, open the folder of the blog-page, open the 'files' or 'index_files' folder and delete all of the following files, when you see them there:

After installing the update, you have to mark the page as changed and re-publish it, so the updated code files get uploaded to your server:

As a replacement for the old RapidBlog from Loghound , I created a replacement, named Blogspot.

Although RapidBlog was a page-plugin for Realmac's RapidWeaver , my replacement is a stack, for use with YourHead's Stacks-plugin .

Read all about it here

The advantage now, is that:

• You don't have to add new posts inside RapidWeaver. Blogger is much better for that purpose.
• It's mobile-friendly
• By using Stacks, you can place a Blogger-blog anywhere in the content-area of the page.
• It's fast
• No usernames and passwords required to login to Blogger.
• Blogspot.stack displays any public accessible Blogspot-domain.
