Thanks to Rafael for pointing out an error on the auto-install link for AvantBlog. There was a problem which made the ‘Depth’ field show up with weird characters when trying to install the channel on AvantGo.
All fixed now ๐

I’ve posted details of an authentication problem work-around for AvantBlog. Basically the problem arises because AvantGo appears to expire sessions after about 24 hours whether you want them to or not (correct me if I’m wrong here anyone…)
To get around this, you can easily configure your AvantBlog channel to pass your username and password along with each request for the channel, as per these instructions;
I’ll also post my warning that went with the mailing list email I sent out here;
Obviously, this method means that your channel is defined using your actual Blogger.com username and password, in plain text. These details are passed ‘over-the-wire’ in plain txt, so this is not particularly secure. The chances of someone exploiting this are minimal, however if your blog contains any sensitive information or is of a secure nature of any sort, I do not recommend that you configure AvantBlog using this method.
Enjoy!
