I’ve started taking a quick look at the API to get access to my own blog stored in WordPress so that I can cache all the pages locally as a backup and an offline repository. So far here’s all I’ve needed to get something working in .Net :
- Information concerning WordPress’s XML-RPC support
- A reference for the metaWebLog
- A download for a XML-RPC wrapper for .Net with a very useful FAQ
- A Microsoft reference for accessing Microsoft Live Spaces
- And most importantly some source code from MSDN that works with very few changes
I’m not sure where to go with this at the moment – I’m sure there must already be a tool for this so don’t want to go through the effort of writing my own!
I gave up with this in the end since there was a much easier solution. I started using Microsoft FolderShare beta and shared the blog poster folder written to by Microsoft Windows Live Writer. I now get a copy of both my drafts and posted items on any machine setup with the FolderShare and that includes the current status of a draft if I haven’t had time to finish it.
