This week, I wanted to programatically create posts on my Wordpress site, Maxims. Unfortunately, all of the example code I found online for controlling Wordpress was using PHP, and I hate PHP. I wanted to control Wordpress with Ruby using XML-RPC.

I wanted to export my Safari Reading List on OS X, so I wrote some code to do it. I leveraged Ruby, but this methodology could be easily ported to other languages like Bash, Python, or Objective C.
