Hi James.

Yes I still use Evernote/Everpress but only for quick text. I found the image conversion less than satisfactory.

I agree, MS LiveWriter would be the best blog offline writer app I’ve seen. I use a Mac most of the time and use MarsEdit.

Thanks for your comment.

Interesting. Are you still using evernote for your blog postings? I personally LOVE Microsoft’s Windows Live writer, but I can see how it would be handy to use evernote. I keep notes and what not there, so it does make sense.

I saw you had a couple screenshots there. I think lag was the issue. Generally the idea is to just throw stuff into Evernote and then forget it. But I guess what you’re saying is you would like it polling/importing more often than daily. Maybe write the author and request it. Until then, like you say, hitting “run now’ in the EverPress plugin page is the only option. Glad you got it working.

I appear to have it working with no reasonable explanation for why it decided to start all of the sudden…. definitely not complaining
i wonder if there was a lag. it does appear the content is sized differently depending on how its inserted…

also, it appears the only way to get it to refresh is through the admin panel- which is slightly annoying, but solvable i’m sure…

have a looksie..

Hi. I’m running 2.8.x on this blog. Did you get the green “valid feed” indicator next to your url? Hit “run now”..down bottom of the EverPress plugin page?

I’ll try it on another of my blogs that’s running 2.9.1

Gentlemen,

Might i ask what version of wordpress you are using? is it 2.9.1? I have installed everpress and shared a notebook, copied the url and pasted it into the top field on the everpress plugin setting page… i then clicked ublish, but no luck yet…

anything i’m doing wrong?

I’ll try to post a screenshot of my settings…

Ahh.. I’m on the Mac Evernote app, and there’s no link button in that!

I added links using the web interface to Evernote, by clicking on the little chain-link symbol.
I usually start my notes on Android, and am not sure about adding links from that client.

Andrew, one thing that puzzles me, how do you add a link in Evernote? Do you have to give it the full html markup?

By: Andrew

Andrew — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 00:51:52 +0000

To update, I just tried a Evernote with formatting (links, bulleted list) and it carried over to the blog fairly well: without error, but not with the html I’d have used (e.g., links opened in a new window, and I changed the code so that they open in the same window).
So I was unduly pessimistic in the previous reply.

Dave,
Thanks very much for the acknowledgement of my comment, and link to WanderNote. A few further comments…
First, and most important, I did not write the EverPress plugin. That was Martin Hawksey.
Second, I fear – but do not know for sure – that you will find the same limitations with EverPress a you previously encountered. I think that they arise from what goes into the RSS feed from Evernote.
Third, I invite you to get a free WanderNote blog for some or all of your testing of EverPress.
Fourth, I also invite your readers to check out WanderNote.
Cheers,
Andrew
