So I have been interested in saving money for quite some time now, and couponing never really has crossed my mind until recently. If you are on Facebook you can take part of the action too. Every evening I have been looking through deals online for products I use every day. Toothpaste, deodorant, body wash, shaving cream etc and I go to all the brand facebook pages and they almost always have some sort of a deal going.

I just launched my first Chrome Extension. a tool to remotely post to WordPress from a chrome extension using XMLRPC.
If you have WordPress please help me out testing to make sure it works.
TO BETA TESTERS:
This should take less than 5 minutes.
It is a 3 step process
STEPS:
Install the chrome extension
fill in 3 fields in tool
post to your blog
REQUIREMENTS:
Chrome Browser
Wordpress
XMLRPC Turned on in your admin
NOTES:
When you get to the blog path, make sure your blog url points directly to your xmlrpc.php file.
It is in the root of your directory: e.g http://www.example.com/blog/
You need the last shash in the path.
No information regarding access info gets stored or shared.
Please let me know if you encounter any problems.
Thanks!!
I have a special announcement for today and I am very excited to say that RomotePress, a Google Chrome Extension for easily posting to your blog, is now live.
It is simple and allows you to easily and quickly post to your blog.
Got an Idea for a post? Do not lose it, just open the extension and start typing.
There is plenty of room for improvement and growth, but wanted to get this out there since it has already been very useful to myself.
Simply supply your blog url and login credentials and it connects to your WordPress through XML-RPC. Best of all, you can close out the extension, and it will remember your place.
Take a look, let me know how it works, and if you were wondering, this post was made with RemotePress. Rate it and happy posting.
I am making great progress with my Google Chrome Extension. I Have posting successfully working, now what I need to accomplish is allowing the user to edit a post, already created, and modify categories and or tags. XML-RPC really has a great set of functions you can call to pull in and remotely control WordPress right from any app or mobile device. Were talking from posting, commenting and users. These functions are very useful. This extension isn’t going to go overboard with features, basically quick and fast way to get a blog post up there.
While planning, I was a little worried that if you post HTML inside the text box, it would not display HTML in the blog post, only the code, but I was able to find out it reads and understands the HTML. That is a huge plus.
Soon, I will be releasing an extension I hope many can fid useful. There will be a few surprises included to make the experience and functionality really fun to use.
I encourage you to check it out once it is in market. I will follow up with some more examples of code as I make my progress.
Cheers
If you like my work, I encourage you to help me get an ipad. I really would like to get some development practice on the super sassy device, anything would help.
