Re: customMetaData not saving

Brett, should the customMetaData for posts be working?

I can't seem to get it work at all now through the rubygem or through the 
API explorer.

I have tried both escaping the string myself and leaving it to be escaped 
by the gem/explorer and nothing seems to work now, I just cannot get it to 
persist despite a 200 response.

Is there any particular attribute of the post resource that must be present 
for this to work?
