what is the status of self-hosted WordPress blogs support in Hootsuite?
We host our wordpress blog and I'd like to integrate it with hootsuite. Is this possible?
In order to integrate self-hosted blogs, HootSuite needs an API for these blogs. This is easy to do with WordPress.com since the API is centralized, but a different story altogether with self-hosted blogs. Still worth considering since there’s a lot of self-hosted WordPress blogs out there, though.

Is there an update on this project? This looks to be over a year old and I don't understand why their still is no support. As a WP developer, I can't imagine why this is difficult. If anything you could build a pluggin that hosted WP users could install to connect with...

I was really excited about Hootsuite util I ran into this road block. Based on the amount of time since the last response, I am assuming that they have just given up on this... too bad.

Don't see myself using Hootsuite until I can integrate WP webpages. When will this occur?

With so many people using wordpress as their website platform, it would be extremely convenient to be able to access/post to them along with the other social sites from one central location (e.g. Hootsuite).

Also, there's plenty of functionality in the core wordpress to query comments, etc. the "client status" plugins use a special API key to gain access to basically all of wordpress. would be pretty simple to do the same thing. make an API key on hootsuite.com, enter it into the hootsuite plugin, bam... instant access to everything.

if you made a simple plugin for self-hosted wordpress installs, for hootsuite to plug-in to, this would fix the problem. the posting portion im sure would be similar to the self-hosted "email to post" plugins that exist (i think it was native for a few versions too).

Just to add my 2-cents to this ... we are considering becoming an Enterprise customer and all of our web sites are self-hosted, WordPress based. Integration of both blog posting and managing blog comments via HootSuite would be a very valuable addition.

How about an update. The last Hootsuite response appears to be from over 1 year ago. I love Hootsuite but right now it is not worth upgrading to the pro version until self-hosted wordpress blogs and Google+ is supported.

Please consider Chris as many of us use self-hosted blogs in order to move our website up google ranks and I love HootSuite but it is not capable to connect to my self hosted wordpress blog.

This option has come up for me a few times now in client meetings. It would be a useful tool. all my clients wordpress accounts are self hosted and not hosted at Wordpress.com

ditto. If we can integrate our self-hosted Wordpress blog, this would be invaluable

Just a suggestion couldn't you require they setup a specific plugin like XMLRPC and MetaWebLog API or MovableType then use that to connect.
And don't you already support the Blogger API?

This is huge for us as well. Right now you guys are integrating everything tightly in one spot (which is why we signed up). The only thing you are lacking for us is tying in our self hosted WP. That could lock us down as a long term customer.
