<p style="margin: 0px;">You can define your own XML-RPC methods and the functions that handle those method calls. That's what I meant by the handler function. For example, I use XML-RPC in all my plug-ins to report back installation progress and errors - each plug-in makes an XML-RPC call to a custom handler (method) on my server.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Basically, you can define your own version of wp.getComments (maybe wpCustom.getComments) that focuses on MU blogs in whatever way you choose (identifying one blog by blog ID or getting information universally).<span></span></p>
