Hello all,

I have the following problem:

\*) I have a WordPress blog at site x  
\*) I have a Ruby on Rails site, y  
\*) I want to accomplish the following thing: If i post a blog entry into  
my wordpress blog at x, (in category z), i want it to appear  
automaticaly at y (in a blog which is… let’s say just a Ruby on Rails  
something, or alternatively Typo or maybe WP)

Suggestions to tackle this problem?

Thanks,  
Peter

My first thought was to set up a couple of web services, but I like your  
idea much better.
