[Windows Only] I forgot to ask for desktop integration. Is it too late?
[Windows Only] I forgot to ask for desktop integration. Is it too late? No, there are just a few steps. Run an application called Java Web Start located on your Start Menu. You will see an icon for BlogBridge. Click on it, and then click the Application/Add Shortcuts command and you will get the shortcut to easily run BlogBridge in the future.
Note: Depending on what versions you are running, the Java Web Start program could be in several places. You can avoid the hassle of looking for it picking Run… from the Start menu and asking for “javaws” and pressing Ok, which is another easier way to run it.
Well, I followyour instructions and all I see is a screen whcih says only one instance of BlogBridge can run.
Then I use Task Manager to kill javaw.exe and start it again, and Blogbridge goes thru its motions and disappears. When I try starting it using the link, once again I come full circle to the “only one instance of Blogbridge can run at a time.”
Free, yes, Open Source yes, but is it soooo difficult to make something a little more user friendly in 2005???

I can find this Java Web Start you mention.

Ooops, I meant to type “can’t” in my comment above. I can’t find the java script.

I downloaded java last night, and now I can’t find a way to bring it up. Is there a way I can put an icon on my start up screen. Thank you,
Bob
