Just read an awesome blog entry by Anand Sharma about his attempts to understand XML-RPC, blogging API's and Erik's Linkblog. Anand does a great job in walking through his discovery of XML-RPC and ends up writing a standalone client and a XML-RPC server in the process. Its fun to learn new stuff, especially when it alls ends up working in the end. 
I was really excited to read this blog entry as I am writing a little Java client to download and backup my Blogger posts. Between my 3 blogs, I have over 300 blog entries and I wanted to write something to periodically download all my posts and save them locally. I'm finished writing a command line version of the tool and am now hoping to add a Swing GUI to make it a little more user-friendly before I release it here. I've been looking for an excuse to learn more about IDEA 4.0's GUI designer.
