I'm witing an app to get all of my FF posts out and saved to disk, probabaly in XML.  I figured that I may as well get the UI straightened out as well.

Now this is not as bad as it appears. I took a University project that I did last year ( that I got an A for, coincedentally) and adapted the Client project to work with the FF API rather than the WCF server it was supposed to. Since this was originally a chat application, its riddiculously similar to FF. Its got support for Direct Messages and Files already built in. Once I post the code to Codeplex, you'll see that the code for those two features has simply been commented out. So when the FF API v2 comes out wiht its C# library i can simply plug it in.

Saving to XMl is very good. I considered doing something using the RSS spec. But the difficulty of the wordpress implementation of this idea made me think twice. So I'll do my own thing, making it easy to re use the files. in saying this, tho, someone did suggest doing exactly that and then importing to Wordpress directly (Thsat idea I'm leaving to more qualified Wordpress geeks).

Its an intersting challenge.... let's see where we go.....
