[Emacsweblogs] Seems to be badly broken?

[Chris Hall]

Hello,

Today I installed, via ELPA, weblogger.el into my Emacs 23.2.1 running
on Debian Sneezy.  Trying to use with the most current version of
WordPress, 3.5.2 (I think).

First 'customize-group' won't even save user or password, since they
saved as strings (get message 'symbol x value is void').  If I put
quotes in customization field, then they work.

Second, weblogger.el utterly fails to figure out what kind of blog I
have (why can't I simply *tell* it "WordPress"?).

Then, weblogger gets stuck in some sort of recursion: after 190+
attempts, elisp's max-lisp-eval-depth gets exceeded.

And they are calls to "blogger" API, not wp API. (Tried running with
xml-rpc-debug = 10, that how I know this and that it opens 190+ buffers.)

This is in a very minimally customized emacs: in fact
zero-customization, simply barebones "as delivered by Debian".

I was hoping weblogger could save me time, because I simply don't have
the time to do any non-trivial debugging.

Perhaps there is something obvious that I am overlooking?

TIA,

Chris
