Windows Live Writer + Wordpress = :(

    Does anyone know how to use WLW with a wordpress blog hosted on its own domain? Blogger blogs are fine, but I just can't get the damn thing to work with Wordpress. Shame, cos it's a nice piece of software.

    The main problem is that it asks for the remote posting url and asks me to fill in the blanks here "http://<hostname>/<wp_path>/xmlrpc.php"

    What the hell does that mean? Help!

    Thanks in advance my Wordpress gurus.

    Matt

    Oh my ..

    I never had such a problem actually. It might be your FW or Router doing it ? ( very unlikely though ) ..

    ANyway, just for the records . .

    - Use the latest version

    I have been using WLW for a long time for my blog @ WP.. and it works fine with all the themes !
