Adding a new post using xml rpc

I’ve been playing around with wp’s xml rpc protocol, most notably, trying to add a new post with it.

At first I was using blogger.newPost, but I wanted to use wp’s own protocol.

I’ve going over and over wp’s xml rpc protocol at http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/XML-RPC_wp but for the life of me I can not figure out which name I should use.

I tried using wp.newPage but that does exactly what it says, and created for me new pages, not new posts. I even tried wp.newPost but that didn’t do anything.

Does wp not have a new post function in its xml rpc protocol? That would seem a really big oversight, and I can’t believe they would do that.
