How can I remotely make a post to a user's blog after he/she gives me his login info using the wordpress api? What method do i need to use, what paremeters should it have, etc? Sample code will be great.

I'd prefer to use the XML-RPC api but others will also be acceptable.

yeah you can use metaWeblog.newPost or blogger.newPost, an example of the first:

uses curl and xmlrpc_encode_request

an example of the second:

yeah and @Francis is correct
