Jake: Today is my birthday, so I'm not going to be able to go into anything extensive here. And there's only so in-depth I can be anyway, since blogging is my business and there's a fine line between being helpful and commercially suicidal. :D
That aside... the idea is that you have a page like xmlrpc.cfm, and you point your client app at it. The client is going to POST an XML-RPC packet to that page. To make use of that packet, you need to retrieve it and feed it to xmlrpc.cfc to have it converted into a CFML struct. That's where GetHttpRequestData() comes in.
<cfset myxmlrpc = GetHttpRequestData().content>
Feed the results into the CFC and you're on your way.

Yup, but Macromedia owns it. Check out DRK5 for a tutorial.

I feel your pain. When I was alpha-testing the current version of JournURL in late 2002, there was zero userful XML-RPC and RSS info available in the CF world. That's why I went ahead and released the CFC... it's one thing for folks to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, but quite another to expect them to make their own boots first.
