  That looks like it should work. Are you developing your own client?

  Also, have you set your default category at Settings -> Writing in your Dashboard?

  Thanks for quick response

  i am posting to my blog http://zahur.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php from my web application.
  and if i remove category tag from xml then it goes to default caegory.

  even if i write “<category>abc,pqr</category>”
  abc , pqr are two categories then it doesnot go to that category but it goes to “uncategorized”

  even “<category>1,2</category>” goes to “uncategorized” category

  I already set default cat to abc

  Just to be sure I read that right, is it going to Uncategorized even if you have the default category set to abc?

  Thanks for response

  if i remove code <category>1,2</category> then it goes to abc
  otherwise code <category>1</category> or <category>1,2</category> takes post to uncategorized

  That is rather odd. Is the rest of the post working correctly?
