So the weblogs.com change happened

So the weblogs.com change happened today, and I was asleep at the switch, so I needed to come up with a XML-RPC notification utility quickly. Thanks to phpxmlrpc, it was damned easy:

<?

include("xmlrpc.inc");

$weblog_name = new xmlrpcval("marginalia.org");

$weblog_address = new xmlrpcval("http://www.marginalia.org");


$msg = new xmlrpcmsg("weblogUpdates.ping");

$msg->addParam($weblog_name);

$msg->addParam($weblog_address);

$client=new xmlrpc_client("/RPC2", "rpc.weblogs.com", 80);

$response = $client->send($msg);

if ($response->faultCode()) {

  print $response->serialize();

} else {

  print "weblogs.com pinged.";

}

?>

Next problem to solve is a favorite list using the changes.xml file available at weblogs.com.
