   Hello,

   I am quite new to XML-RPC and the blogging APIs wordpress supports so sorry if I am being silly.

   Anyway, my problem is simple: I am making a blogging client and I'd like to be able to create new categories in the client. However, I am unable to find a (xml-rpc) method that would actually allow ne to make one.

   Is there any way to add new categories using XML-RPC?

   Thanks in advance!

   Hey Ramis,

   Did you find a solution to creating categories via XMLRPC?

   Cheers - Callum.

   I've not found one. I use Blogdesk and we can't do it with that.

   I just read this thread which talks about Photon (a plugin for iPhoto I believe) which can list categories and create new categories via the API.

   I'm not sure how it does it though. Possibly the mt.setPostCategories method. I know that submitting new categories through metaWeblog.newPost doesn't work, it simply ignores them (as per the spec).

   If I find a solution I'll post it back here.
