Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked MetaWeblog API references and current WordPress options for posting from an external app. Then determine how the requested integration would fit into Drummer and define what supported posting behavior would count as complete; the issue names no repository files or tests.

Description

Background

In June 2020 I did a refresh of Radio3, my linkblogging tool, which I use for the linkblog on Scripting News and in the nightly email.

In 2014 when I first wrote Radio3, it had a feature that mirrored posts to WordPress, using their support for the MetaWeblog API. At some point they apparently stopped supporting this interface, so I removed the connection from Radio3.

API to post to WordPress blog in 2021?

So here's the question: is there now a way to post to a WordPress blog from an external app? If it has an API, I'd like to get support in the first release of Drummer. It's an important connection.
