Functions for posting, modifying and deleting blog content

Description

These functions are for changing the content of a blog. We can create a new page, a new post on a page, add a new category, delete a category.

Usage

newCategory(category, description = "???", slug = category, parent = 0L,
             blogid = 0, login = getOption("WordpressLogin", stop("need a login and password")),
              .server = getServerURL())
publishPost(postid, login = getOption("WordpressLogin", stop("need a login and password")),
             ...,  .server = getServerURL())
uploadFile(what, type = guessMIMEType(what), blogid = 0L,
            login = getOption("WordpressLogin", stop("need a login and password")),
             remoteName = basename(what), overwrite = TRUE, ..., .server = getServerURL()  )
newPage(content, publish = TRUE, blogid = 0,
            login = getOption("WordpressLogin", stop("need a login and password")), method = "wp.newPage", .server = getServerURL())
newPost(content, publish = TRUE, blogid = 0,
          login = getOption("WordpressLogin", stop("need a login and password")), .server = getServerURL())
deleteCategory(categoryid, blogid = 0L, login = getOption("WordpressLogin", stop("need a login and password")), ..., .server = getServerURL()  )
deletePage(pageid, blogid = 0L, login = getOption("WordpressLogin", stop("need a login and password")), ..., .server = getServerURL()  )
deletePost(postid, login = getOption("WordpressLogin", stop("need a login and password")),
            publish = TRUE, appId = "RWordPress", ..., .server = getServerURL() )

Arguments

category	the name of the new category to create
categoryid	the identifier for the category of interest.
description	the content of the blog post
slug	the desired name (i.e. URL) of the resource on the server when we create it. This can be omitted and the default is typically fine.
parent	the parent of the
login	the login and password given as c(login = "password")
postid	the identifier for the post. See getRecentPostTitles for the identifiers.
...	additional arguments passed on to xml.rpc.
what	the file to upload. This is typically a file name, but can also be an R object given as an object of class AsIs and that is serialized. If it is text, this is the content of the file, not the file name. If this is a raw vector (with or without the AsIs class), this is also taken as the content.
type	the MIME type of the file being uploaded.
blogid	the identifier for the blog. Often this can be left as 0 to identify the default blog identified by the specified login and password.
remoteName	the name to use for the file on the blog server. This allows us to use a different name than the one on the local system and to specify a name for anonymous object.
overwrite	whether to
content	the
publish	a logical value that controls whether the changes are immediately published.
pageid	the identifier for the page on the blog
appId	the name of our program making the request
method	the name of the actual XMLRPC method to invoke. This allows one function to be parameterized to implement multiple methods that are very similar.
.server	a string giving the URL of the Wordpress server. This can be specified by the caller directly or can be set as a global option in R named WordpressURL, e.g. options(WordpressURL = "https://www.mywordpress.org/xmlrpc.php").
