  I’m trying to use the “post to blog” feature at Box, but when I do, it says it cannott and to check my username and password, which I have.

  Ideas?????

  I know little about box.net, but perhaps one of these links, found by typing “box.net” into the FAQ search box, will help you:

  It’s just as easy to copy the link you get to Share a file as it is to post to blog. I’ve been doing it that way for both images and zip files.

  Forgot that direct linking is a part of their upgraded service, so sorry if this isn’t suitable. I’ll try adding the Blog Posting service and see what happens.

  Like posting to blog from flickr, the end results weren’t exactly what I expected, but it worked.

  If you’re still having problems with it, write (email visible only to moderators and staff) I’ve found them helpful.

  I think box.net is only for music and other files storage, it can’t be used as a “post to blog”. If you are trying to post a link (music mp3) there’s a rss feed for your box.net account that gives you the link. Why not use the widget in your sidebar?

  Opps, I’ve seen it already in your sidebar, try to use the menu drop down of box.net, you’ll get this ->feed://www.box.net/public/bi91rasrz6/rss.xml
