  Hello there,

  I use the wordpress blog for keeping everyone in my club up-to-date.
  My chief instructor has a his own website and I was wondering if it’s possible to make an XMLHttp-Request to my wordpress blog and display the posts on his ASP-Website.

  I’m sure it can be done but I have no idea how to do the Request or which path I should put onto the request-code.

  Help anyone?

  Do your have a wordpress.COM blog? The one linked in your user name is not hosted here.

  ASP doesn’t support stuff like this, use ASP.NET and Cook Computing’s XMLRPC support for .NET.

  you don’t need really .Net for that, JavaScript and code that will handle the RPC is all you need (be it PHP, ASP or .Net – C# or VB)

  Lomb,

  You won’t be able to send HTTP Requests to your instructors website, it should be his website who should check for new content on your blog and display it (you could also let his server know that you’ve posted new content by sending a ping). The person who maintains his website will probably know how to do it.

  Yep, that’s a good idea.
  Sending pings to the website. I maintain my blog and his website simply display my data after receiving the ping.

  Thanks guys
