XML-RPC allow other programs to interact with the backend of your publishing system. Using such tool has a lot of advantages:

The MetaWeblog API, is an application programming interface created by Dave Winer that enables blog entries to be written, edited, and deleted using client software or web services.
The API is implemented as an XML-RPC web service with three methods whose names describe their function: metaweblog.newPost(), metaweblog.getPost() and metaweblog.editPost(). These methods take arguments that specify the blog author's username and password along with information related to an individual weblog entry (also called a "post."). [from wikipedia]
For Joomla 1.5 you can use Metaweblog API, which can be dwonloaded here: download MetaWeblog API at JoomlaCode The latest version that has work for me is the version 0.9. Working yes but with some limitations, you can't for example put any pictures in your post. Movable API is another 3rd party plugin developed in japan by Jomler!.net exist for both Joomla 1.0 and Joomla! 1.5 (Metaweblog plugin for Joomla). Movable API is much more powerful than Metaweblog, but I did not succeed in making it running

Install the plugin using the Plugin manager, and do not forget to publish it
