    Hello,

    I’m trying to create a new weblog account in windows live writer, after setting out my url, username and password, it just hangs out while trying to detect blog settings.

    I’m using wordpress 2.8.4 and disabled all plugins, also I made sure that XML-RPC and Atom publishing protocol are enabled.

    Thanks in advance.

    P.D.
    You can find my blog in https://www.datatrv.net

  • ill be honest and say I dont know if it makes a difference, but this isnt in your header:

    <link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="https://https://www.datatrv.net/xmlrpc.php?rsd" />

    I **think** you need to have that in your header.

    change to the default theme, and see if it works.

    Thanks a lot!!

    I have had so much trouble with Live Writer, that I am giving up on it. I use posterous.com and or the firefox addon scribefire to publish to my blogs.

    Can anybody help me?
    I used to write with WLW at wordpress (got a blog there). Now I got my own URL using wordpress for editing, but i can′t connect with WLW – says cannot find url?

    Thanks
    Martin
