Our line’s too short …

… and what i wanted to do most, was creating posts automatically, using xmlrpc. alas! i couldn’t get it to work for quite some time.

googleing turned up some discussion threads, which told me, that xmlrpc support isn’t enabled by default anymore, possibly for good reason. this is already useful information, because the error you may get from you xmlrpc client is about failed authentication – a strange way to signal: not enabled.

anyway, one comment got me almost there. “Site Admin->Blogs->Edit”. but what then? no mention of xmlrpc, API, blogger, you name it. the setting to change turned out to be “Advanced edit”. set it from 0 to 1, and xmlrpc should work.
