博客客户端是运行在个人电脑桌面上，它可以让你通过XML-RPC接口实现发布博客。 在有的情况下，博客客户端甚至可以管理你的博客网站。 你也可以认为博客客户端相当于Outlook Express, Thunderbird, and Eudora Mail. 最大的亮点，客户端可以让你写博客在离线的时候，等下次上线直接发布就行。另外，依据笔者实际经验，尤其当你blog里面有多个图片的时候，使用博客客户端的体验将会非常棒。

关于通过邮件发送blog的，请参考：Blog by Email.

Develop Your Own

You can always develop your own. Many scripts in Perl, Python, PHP, Applescript and Java have already been written and are ripe for the picking (and tweaking). If you are planning on developing a Mac OS X Dashboard Widget, start with Apple's very detailed documentation.

Your XML-RPC server/path are as described here:

• If you login to WordPress on http://example.com/wordpress/wp-login.php, then you have:
  • Server: http://example.com/ (some tools will just want the 'example.com' hostname part)
  • Path: /wordpress/xmlrpc.php
  • complete URL (just in case): http://example.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php
