    I’m looking for ‘the full URL of the XML-RPC interface for your blog, which probably ends in something like mt-xmlrpc.cgi’ to set up a daily blog posting from del.icio.us.

    I have found: http://…/WordPress/xmlrpc.php but that doesn’t seem to be doing the trick.

    Some help, please!

    That’s the one. http://codex.wordpress.org/XML-RPC_Support

    Elaborate on “not doing the trick”?

    Well – it’s not working – it should post my most recent del.icio.us bookmarks each day.

    Del.icio.us asks for:

    * job_name is the name for your posting “thingy”, which can be anything
    * out_name is the login name you use for your blog
    * out_pass is the password you use for your blog
    * out_url is the full URL of the XML-RPC interface for your blog, which probably ends in something like mt-xmlrpc.cgi
    * out_time is the hour (from 0-23 in GMT) to post your links at every day
    * out_blog_id is your blog ID number (which is probably 1 if you have only one blog)
    * out_cat_id is optional: the category ID number in your blog where you’d like to put these posts

    Maybe I have the wrong blog number – how would I find my ‘blog number’

    As I recall (and that would be a question for del.icio.us) you just make it up. Each blog you add to their thingy has to have a different out_blog_id.

    Of all those values, there are only 3 that are critical to get right: out_name, out_pass, out_url.

    Have you checked your web server’s error logs? Some hosts block xmlrpc.php access — does yours? Have you tested it with something simple like a Weblog_Client?

    I have just get up ‘Deepest Sender’ as a weblog client and can post without any problems.

    Hi there, having similar problems:

    Handysolo, you mentioned that some hosts block xmlrpc.php access. Looks like mine does. I love using my weblog client. Is there anything I can do about it?

    Looks like there is an answer here:
