Using Vimpress

February 28, 2009

I’m regaining some functionality I haven’t had for a long time today. Back in the old days, I used to use [Flog](http://www.ralree.com/2006/09/02/changing-up-the-flogging/”) to post to Typo, but that all went away with Mephisto (I couldn’t get XMLRPC to work properly).
