Create WordPress Blog and Publish Post Via XML-RPC

1. Install Wordpress Blog

http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

1.1 Download and unzip the WordPress package, if you haven't already.

1.2 Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.

1.3 Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.

1.4 Open wp-config.php in a text editor and fill in your database details as explained in Editing wp-config.php to generate and use your secret key password.

1.5 Place the WordPress files in the desired location on your web server:

If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.

If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g.http://example.com/blog/), rename the directory wordpress to the name you'd like the subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server. For example if you want the WordPress installation in a subdirectory called "blog", you should rename the directory called "wordpress" to "blog" and upload it to the root directory of your web server.

Hint: If your FTP transfer is too slow read how to avoid FTPing at : Step 1: Download and Extract.

1.6 Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in a web browser.

If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php

If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit:http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php

That's it! WordPress should now be installed.

There are many ways to publish WordPress blog post. You can publish from the WordPress admin interface, you can publish via email and also you can publish it via XML-RPC. So what is XML-RPC? XML-RPC is a remote procedure call (RPC) protocol which uses XML to encode its calls and HTTP as a transport mechanism. Which mean we can call the WordPress procedure remotely. And this will make WordPress easily integrate with other system.

To enable publish via XML-RPC in WordPress follow these stepes:

1. Login to your WordPress admim

2. Go to Settings > Writing > Remote Publishing

3. Enable Enable the WordPress, Movable Type, MetaWeblog and Blogger XML-RPC publishing protocols. checkbox.
