[wp-hackers] XML-RPC and Pages

[Alex Andrews]

Thanks for this everyone. Wonderful stuff.

Just out of interest, is it possible to use any old custom post type
there? Could be very useful indeed, as one could write a script that,
say, updates a product list in an Excel spreadsheet into a live
product list on the website or similar.

All the best,

Alex
