I recently worked on fixing up some long-standing bugs in the XML-RPC support in WordPress. Many thanks to Adriaan Tijsseling, author of Ecto for providing me with some key debugging information. . [...]

Doc has suggested that I add an XML-RPC interface to my Blog Service Pinger. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that myself.
When time allows (i.e., I’ll work on it in my Copious Free Time), I’ll add a weblogs.com compatible ping interface that will allow you to ping all supported services in one fell swoop. [...]

Real Soon Now, I will start converting this site from MyPHPBlog to WordPress. Not that there’s anything particularly wrong with MPB, it’s served me well, and I have been on the development team for it for some time. But when the chance to participate in WP development came up, I found it hard to resist, so I’ve been putting my efforts there. As noted on the WP Dev Blog, I’ve been working on the XML-RPC API interface. [...]

The other day, I updated my Service Pinger to include two new services, BlogRolling and BlogStreet, at the suggestion of Guy Robert Vestal from The BlogHunter.
I also renamed it from “XML-RPC Service Pinger” to “Blog Service Pinger”, since three of the eight services listed aren’t actually using XML-RPC.
First off, I’ve added GeoURL to the list of services in my Service Pinger. It’s not an XML-RPC service, so I might rename the page to make it more general.
And second, the Ping Services are now available on the front page of The Blog Hunter, a weblog portal site which is sort of like Yahoo for blogs.
Scott has been doing some interesting experiments. The first is a realtime visitor stats widget, and the second is a, uh… Well, I’m not sure exactly what it is. But it accepts pings via XML-RPC and displays them in realtime. . [...]

I’ve hacked together support for Pingbacks. There are pros and cons to Trackback and Pingback. Pingback is more automated. Trackback has wider support because it is integrated into the popular Movable Type blogware.
To speed implementation, I borrowed some of my code from the b2 blog system. [...]
Yeah, yeah…. No updates in a while. I’ve been in the zone at work, and haven’t had time to get online from home.
Over the last week or so, I’ve spent a lot of time hacking my way through some SOAP::Lite and XMLRPC::Lite voodoo. After converting one of my perl libraries into a proper module, I was able to implement an XML-RPC server in about 7 lines of code (20 lines, if you include blank lines, comments, and some unnecessary stuff).

Eric Costello (of glish.com fame) has an excellent article on Remote Scripting with IFRAME. . [...]

I have finally gotten around to learning a little about XML-RPC and SOAP.
In case you aren’t familiar with these buzzwords, they are basically protocols for getting data from remote programs. They use HTTP as the transport protocol, and XML for encapsulating the data. [...]
