A big Uff Da! to WordPress. What’s the issue with not including xmlrpc.php in the distribution? Looking back through forums I see that this has been a problem since v1.2 came out this last summer? Uff Da! And the comments I see from the WordPress developers run along the lines that with the 5-minute installation being as simple as it is, why complain that a file is missing? Ummm…I’m getting a new car soon, and I sure hope that they remember to include all of the wheels…
Anyway, Zempt still chokes with an abnormal file termination error when using this version of the xmprpc.php file. It’s probably a script incompatibility, but I can’t be bothered right now. w.bloggar seems to be pretty cool…
Oh yeah, putting the xmlrpc.php file anywhere but the root directory caused both Zempt and w.bloggar to not find it at all. And yes, I did triple-check my set-up information for mistypes, etc.

Hmm…I don’t like the way that the italicized words get the same color as the live links. Time to poke into the CSS file for the first time.
Hi Peter
Just to make sure that the WordPress guys don’t get wrongly accused: In fact, they did include the
xmlrpc.phpin WordPress 1.2 but it was lacking some functionality regarding the implementation. Myxmlrpc.phpis a drop-in replacement for the original one — 90% of the code are the same.jr (Author of the patch)

Well, they may have had it in there when it was originally released, but the 1.2.1 disty I have doesn’t have it included. Unfortunately, I cannot remember where I got it and a quick check to WordPress.org shows that the 1.2.2 contains the file. I’m glad they fixed the problem, and I now I’m perplexed why I didn’t have the 1.2.2 version to begin with…Time to upgrade already?
OK — We’re up to 1.2.2 now and using the standard xmlrpc.php file in the WordPress distribution. Now…will w.bloggar work?
