I have made a plug-in for Sporttracks that I use to export my activities to this blog. There’s a download link at the bottom of this post.

The plug-in exports the following to the blog:

1. The title
2. Descriptions/notes
3. Statistics for each lap and for the total activity (time, distance, avg. speed, energy, avg heartrate, max heartrate)
4. The activity on a map (Google Maps)
5. Chart showing speed and heartrate compared to the time travelled.

In order for this to work, two things need to be considered:

1. Your blog must support the metaWeblog api, e.g. WordPress at the url: http://<blogroot>/xmlrpc.php.
2. Your blog must be signed up to Google Maps, e.g. you have the following in the head section of the pages showing the exported posts:

   <script src='http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=2&amp;key=<key>' type='text/javascript' />

   (You need to sign up for a key)

When this is provided, you can load the plug-in in Sporttracks. A new settings page is created. Here you need to provide the following settings:

1. URL An url to a script, which can receive the XmlRpc format and understands the metaBlogApi. In Wordpress this is http://<blogroot>/xmlrpc.php.
2. Username to an account in the blog with permissions to create a post.
3. Password The password corresponding to the account above.
4. Publish Select this box if you want your posts published as part of the export. If not selected the post will be in a draft version.

Get the plug-in here.

To install the plug-in, you must copy the downloaded dll to your Sporttracks installation directory, e.g. C:\Program Files\Zone Five Software\SportTracks 2.1\Plugins. When you have done this, (re)start Sporttracks and you can now export (please see above to set the correct settings).
