   Is it possible to post tags with xml rpc? Categories are working great, but how do I post Tags?

   Hi there, you don't say how you are posting, but yes it is possible, for example with live writer, you have advanced options, which allow the adding of keywords,(which are tags) trackbacks and the choice of which author is posting etc.
   hope it helps.

   I'm writing my own application to post. Where do I find the information on how to post tags or the trackbacks you mentioned? I'm just looking for the syntax.

   @enq1981 -

   The field is called mt_keywords, in the metaWeblog.newPost call. There's some history in ticket #900 http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/900

   If you are interested in WordPress & XML-RPC I recommend joining the wp-xmlrpc email list: http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-xmlrpc/
