It's Fixed

A bit more reading got me the mode information I needed to get Semagic to work. I also downloaded the latest version of the blogging client, but it has no file extension so I'm going to have to paly with it. I'm not getting any friend information from the client, and when I try to add a friend I get an error saying that code is no longer supported, so it's sounding like something more recent is in order.
So, progress.
