  <ol dir="auto">
    <li>
      run <code>rake generate</code> to generate sites to make all posts brand new.
    </li>
    <li>
      run <code>rake sync_latest_post["PASSWD"]</code> to sync the latest post to your website.<br /> or run <code>rake sync_all_posts["PASSWD"]</code> to sync all posts to your website. <code>PASSWD</code> is your password for the blog sites(It is considered that all your blogs are under the same password). If the <code>PASSWD</code> is omitted, the program will ask you for the password of each blog site. In sync-all way, as time limit from blog site, time gap between each post sending is set to 61 seconds. That may cost some time if you&#8217;ve got large sum of posts, It&#8217;s your coffee time 😉
    </li>
    <li>
      run <code>rake sync_posts_after_date["date","PASSWD"]</code> to sync the posts after compare date to your website, <code>date</code> is the date string, some thing like &#8220;2013-01-01&#8221; or &#8220;2013/01/01&#8221; or &#8220;Jan 1 2013&#8221;.
    </li>

    New features I&#8217;d like to add to this plugin:
  </p>
  
  <ul dir="auto">
    <li>
      eliminate duplication when csync_all_posts.
    </li>
    <li>
      Till now, I&#8217;ve just tested cnblog. All other metaWeblog supported website should be tested.
    </li>
    <li>
      Code block is not compatible in cnblogs?
    </li>
  </ul>
