I have been looking for this extension .... I needed an easy way to post a blog article in my joomla site and then automate the posting on blogger. This is EXACTLY what I needed. The developer of this extension, Phong Lo, has worked above and beyond to help me. If I knew more about CronJobs and Google Client IDs, I would not have had to bother him so much ... BUT he was always there.... helping. Thank you Phong Lo. I recommend this extension 100% satisfied!
I use this plugin on a Joomla 1.5 website and am very pleased with how it is working.
You can choose from what Joomla categories new entries should be posted to your Blogger.com blog (all categories or only specific ones), and wether only new pages should be posted, or also edited and re-saved entries.
Once configured, the Blog-posts are sent automatically in the background, so no additional admin intervention is required.
My only slight issue with this plugin was that the installation and configuration instructions given are not enough to safely guide you through the process of connecting the plugin to the blogger.com API, so you will need a bit of trial-and-error to get it working. But hey, it's free software. Also, be sure to get the latest version (1.4 at the time of writing this).

We really want to try this extension, but the install xml has errors. Language file does not load. We tried correcting that and installed with no error, but the params of the plugin are not visible. If updated, and installable on Joomla 1.7, we'll be happy to try again and, hopefully, write a glowing review. This plugin looks like it could be really, really cool.

I hope you still want to try again with the PLO! Blogger. Last version of the PLO! Blogger worked with Joomla 1.7. Also is compatible with both Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 2.5.
This plugin is great with regards to installation and configuration. I haven't got it to work yet, but that is because of the services on Google side. Support is great too. I installed and received an error and developer fixed it almost immediately. They are helping me through my problems which is nice. This is the only Joomla add-on that allows you to create articles in Joomla and have them replicated to your blogspot.com blog. Great job!!!
