serious Radio Poster reworking

I've seriously reworked Radio Poster. I got tired of its hacked way of handling XML-RPC, so I wrote a library that sits on top of my XML parser. It can build method calls and parse the results. That makes the code a lot simpler and now I'll be able to handle other XML-RPC calls. I plan to add querying the server for blogid's and categories, and I want to support getting posts from the server as well. Things would have quickly gotten to be a mess if I didn't have a unified XML-RPC library to handle all of that.

Radio Poster also now supports both the MetaWeblog API and the Blogger API. I can post to my Radio weblog with either (although I like the MetaWeblog API better, of course) and I can post to my Movable Type weblog as well (that one is a secret, sorry :) ). I've even got a test Blogger weblog and Radio Poster works with that as well. The support for all of those kinds of weblogs isn't right yet. Ideally I would have a list of weblogs you could post to. You would add all of your weblogs to the list and configure each. Then you'd hit a button and Radio Poster would query that server to get stuff like categories and blogid. Then you could start a new post by double-clicking on a weblog in the list. Your post window would already be configured correctly. But I don't have any of that working, of course, so for now you'll probably only really use Radio Poster with one weblog. You'll set that as the default with the default checkbox and all new windows you open will have that default server info.

ResPloder announced

I just announced ResPloder to the REALbasic mailing list. Let's see if anybody is interested. It's a quite little app and somebody might find a use for it.
