ruby gem or rails tips on how to use xmlrpc server/ weblog api

Question

i am trying to get my rails app interfacing with blogging clients. first of all i am not sure which one to choose from (metaweblog, wordpress, movabletype, atompub). second, is there any tutorial on how to implement such a XMLRPC (or similar) server with rails 3? any ideas?

i just came across old posts on how to use the xmlrpc/server lib from ruby-core, but i think maybe there are other ways to achieve the same here?

If you have to deal with some RESTful external api's, just use ActiveResource .

You can find a great railscast about this:
