Reblog with Wordpress

    I'm trying to install Refeed and Reblog (http://reblog.org/) with the plugin for Wordpress, and I'm having a heck of a time. The Sourceforge forums for them aren't helping much.

    Right now, the Wordpress Reblog plugin itself seems to be working fine, but it requires Refeed.

    There's a line in the config.php.default where I have to put my own info into this line:

    mysql://username:password@hostname/database

    Obviously I have the username and password just fine. In place of database, I have what my host says is my database name (sierrapl_wrdp1). I don't know what to put in for hostname though. The answer I got on the Sourceforge forums was "depending on how your server is configured, it could be localhost or something else." Nothing I've tried has worked - not localhost, the domain name, the database name... nothing.

    Can anyone help? I know zilch about MySQL.

    The actual Wordpress blog is linked below, but 1. Not all the posts are working properly and 2. it's pulling from a hosted reblog at the moment, but I need it to change to pull from Refeed once I get it working. (For one thing, pulling from the hosted reblog means I have to go in and edit every post to place it in categories.)

    Never mind, I found someone who knew how to fix it.

    Good luck. I've been enjoying using Refeed as well, but without the plugin. I find it to be a very good feed reader and using the Publish button helps me mark posts for blogging later.
