Following from my plea for help for JoeBlogs I finally got round to learning Git.
The project has now been moved to GitHub:
I will eventually move the Wiki / Docs to the page also.
If anyone would like to become a contributor, please contact me on GitHub
I’m on the verge of being able to release a second, much improved version of the Joe Blogs WordPress & MetaWeblog API Wrapper. Some very brief details below, and a cry for help (or several cries!) New Features / Improvements Friendlier API Instead of having to deal with the XML-RPC interfaces directly, I’ve added a “friendly” layer of classes on top. The WordPressWrapper class has helper...
A few people have recently been asking how the NewPost method works within JoeBlogs First, you need to create an instance of Post. Then, set the following properties: dateCreated Fairly self explanatory, but you should set this to today’s date (or whatever date you wish the post to be set as published) title The title of the post description The body of the post.

I’ve recently had a few comments that the JoeBlogs wrapper wasn’t working – and they were getting an “invalid response” or more specifically “Response XML not valid XML-RPC – missing methodResponse element.” It seems that I had a typo in my comments in JoeBlogs.TestHarness/Program.cs on line 15: //typically (if your wordpress blog is installed in root dir) The problem, is the xmlprc.php – this...
Step 1 Download the latest release of JoeBlogs from Codeplex (Click the Downloads tab, and select the latest download) Step 2 Unzip the contents of the downloaded zip file. (I usually copy DLLs I am going to use into a “lib” folder at the root of my solution) Step 3 Add a reference to BOTH CookComputing.XmlRpcV2.dll AND JoeBlogs.dll Include AlexJamesBrown.JoeBlogs in your class, with using /...
A common question when using Cook Computing XML RPC.net to talk to blogs etc… is how to specify a blog / endpoint at runtime? Most of the examples seem to specify the details in an attribute… not much use if you’re trying to develop a wrapper. To enable me to create JoeBlogs, I made use of the IXmlRpcProxy Proxy classes… I created my interface, implementing IXmlRpcProxy: We define the method as...
Ok, I’ve barely finished this as a stable release, but I thought I’d post this up any way…. A little open source project I’m working on – Joe Blogs. In a nutshell, it allows easy communication to your WordPress (or other blog) via an xml-rpc interface. Big thanks to the work by Charles Cook at Joe Blogs is currently hosted on CodePlex – I’ll be posting more info, tutorials, documentation...
