I got it to work with serendipity, but in order to do that I modified
the server code to implement the call that returns the server's
capabilities. I doubt that this is possible with blogger :)

It may be possible for you to hard code the values in the capabilities
structure to allow weblogger to send the correct XML; that's a
possibility I was looking into but didn't follow up as correcting
serendipity's XML_RPC support seemed to be the right thing to do.
