Dreamwidth and Semagic tutorial

Okay so you want to set up your Semagic for Dreamwidth.

Fire up your Semagic program.

Uncheck the remember password and auto login if they're checked. You can tick the boxes again later. But to get Dreamwidth on Semagic you need those unchecked for right now.

Go up to the top of the interface and click on File.

Then click server settings.

A box ahould pop up.

Dreamwidth is not on the list of servers, so you'll have to add it manually.

In the server box, highlight whatever is there and delete.

Type in www.dreamwidth.org

Leave the port number as is.

Leave the path number as is.

Type in your Dreamwidth username and password into the boxes.

The API should be for LiveJournal.

The secure password box should be checked.

Hit okay.

Exit the program and restart.

Your name should be on the drop down list of usernames, but if it's not; type your Dreamwidth username and password into the sign in boxes, and check remember password if you don't want to have to type it in every time. Or auto login if you want to login into Dream width first when you start the program.

Then click the log in button, and you should be all set to go.

This is the method I used to get Dreamwidth on Semagic.

I hope this helps:)

I have no clues about troubleshooting problems with the program.

I reckon you'd have to go to the LJ community and ask for help there.
