Won't connect with SSL

Trying to set up Wordpress blog where I we have a self-signed SSL cert, but Blogo refuses to connect. Any advice?

Mzungu, apologies -- I misunderstood your question. Celia's response cover the current situation.

Dan replied on September 01, 2008 17:48 to the question "how do i see all my trips?" in Dopplr:

One option: You can subscribe to your trips in iCal by clicking on the link below the list of trips on your "My Trips" page. Then you can view them in a calendar such as Apple's iCal or Google Calendar.

Mzungu, when you add trips you can use the multiple-stop form. In the add-a-trip form, there's a link that says "Add another stop on this trip" -- click that (as many times as you need) and you're all set. See this:



Or are you trying to do something else?

An intriguing idea -- we're definitely looking at ways to give folks flexibility in how they view the information they (and fellow travellers) are creating. We'll make sure our development team sees this idea -- thanks!

Good idea -- we'll make sure the development team sees this. Thanks!

Dan replied on August 15, 2008 13:58 to the problem "The email importer does not seem to handle multi-stop trips." in Dopplr:

Peter, you're correct that the importer does not yet understand multi-stop trips. We're working on that, and hope to show progress in that area soon.

Dan replied on August 14, 2008 16:33 to the question "one way trips" in Dopplr:

Kira, we're definitely looking at this question of how to deal better with both one-way trips and change of home cities. At the moment Dopplr makes the (sometimes incorrect) assumption that a trip is from your home city and back again (unless a multi-stop journey) -- and we agree that asking you to change your home city is not the right answer. We hope to have some useful changes fairly soon.

A comment on the question "Is there a way to edit past trips, e.g. the dates?" in Dopplr:

Paul, thanks for your helpful response. We are definitely aware of the requests for more ways to view (and work with) past trips, and are thinking about ways to be more helpful in this regard. – Dan, on August 14, 2008 16:25

Dan replied on August 05, 2008 14:25 to the question "What do the various colours on your dopplr profile mean?" in Dopplr:

Nicola, the city colors are fixed at this point. As you visit different cities you'll see more colors.

Dan replied on June 24, 2008 13:22 to the idea "Tripit and Dopplr - work together?" in Dopplr:

TripIt offers an iCal feed. Get the URL of that feed.

Then give that URL to Dopplr as if you were getting it from, say, Google Calendar. Go to the "Subscribe to external calendars" page on Dopplr and give us that URL.

Dan replied on June 11, 2008 13:04 to the question "Dopplr Weather Wordpress Widget" in Dopplr:

I don't know of any at the moment. It's a good idea, though, and we'll see what we can find. We're working on how to get weather information with Dopplr trip info inside our site, meanwhile.

Dan replied on May 10, 2008 17:50 to the question "Is there a way to add custom transport types to my trip?" in Dopplr:

Thanks for the suggestion. We are definitely looking at adding bus transport to the choices. Ferry is less likely, partly because the data source we use for carbon usage doesn't include that.

Stowe, noted...

Ah, a transfer is different, and we don't really have a good answer for that at the moment. I suppose you might create consecutive trips, which isn't ideal, of course.

(One thing I have to ask: How do you meet people at airports during transfers? Do you go outside of security and then go back through security? Because you can't get into the main terminal without a boarding pass. Seems like a fairly rare case, but maybe I'm missing something...)
