 * 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.wordpress.org/XML-RPC_wp](http://codex.wordpress.org/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.

 * I have come across the same problem and thought I was going mad. So thanks for
   proving my sanity. I am investigating the problem and if it really comes to it,
   will attempt to code a solution if non-exists. I will post my response back here
   for you, should you come across a solution would you mind posting it here too
   to save me coding the solution (if I can!)
    Thanks
