  There seems to be a bug with the getUsersBlogs call.
  If I have more than one blog under my username, when I call .getUsersBlogs() off of one of my blogs domains, it returns all the blogs I have. While this is a good thing, the API seems to ignore which blog id I am passing it for a new post and only posts to the blog from the domain I’m calling the api on.

  i.e. if I have two blogs
  myblog1.wordpress.com
  myblog2.wordpress.com

  If I use myblog1, it returns the following api url:
  myblog1.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php which lists both my blogs in the get getUsersBlogs call.

  However this is incorrect, because sending a new post api call to
  myblog1.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

  Will only post on myblog1.wordpress.com regardless if I pass it myblog2’s id in the xml.

  I think the default behavior should be either
  1) myblog1.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php should only return the blog for this domain.

  2) myblog1.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php should be able to handle postings to any of your blogs

  3) instead of myblog1.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php, maybe have a standard api (i..e wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php) where username and blog id defines which blog you post to.

  In it’s current state it’s a pain.

  Best bet would be to send this is via a feedback from your dashboard. This is a bit more advanced than what we normally cover here in the forums and best would be raised with staff directly.

  Good luck,
