In Drupal version 6.2 there appears to be some missing code in the blogapi_metaweblog_get_category_list function. This function is called when ScreenSteps attempts to retrieve available categories for a blog. Drupal reports a server error when it shouldn't. The fix is easy and here is how to do it:

1) Open blogapi.module which is located in the ./modules/blogapi/ folder of your Drupal installation.
2) Locate the blogapi_metaweblog_get_categorylist function. In my installation it starts on line 392.
2) Add the following code in the spot specified in the image:

// BEGIN FIX: Without validating the user, the _blogapi_validate_blogid will
// return an empty array
$user = blogapi_validate_user($username, $password);

if (!$user->uid) {
return blogapi_error($user);
}
// END FIX

In order to post to Drupal you should configure a Web Account (instructions here) using the Movable Type API (1). In the root folder of your Drupal installation is a file named xmlrpc.php. The full url to the file should be entered in the Server field (2).

Enter your user name and password and click Test Connection (3) to verify that everything is configured correctly.

You can now post your lesson to Drupal following these instructions.

After posting my first lesson to drupal I opened the blog post in the browser but no images appeared. This is because the Filtered HTML input formatter was the default for all content. To fix this click on the Edit link.

Click on Input format (1) to expand the available options. Click on the Full HTML (2) radio button and click Save (3).

Your lesson now displays correctly in Drupal.
