  Hi – I am not able to get my blog registered for posting from Word 2007. The error message says – the provider where you are trying to publish is unavailable.

  – I am using the following url: https://www.21cstories.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

  Will appreciate if this can be resolved.

  Thanks,

  Amit

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Try with https://21cstories.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php (without the “www”).

  You can also use Windows Live Writer:

  I tried without www, but I get the same message.

  I also tried with Live Writer, but I get a message saying a suitable trust relationship couldn’t be established with SSL, something to this effect.

  There are a couple things to try.

  First make sure the username and password you are using to connect Word 2007 to WordPress.com are the right ones. You might also try using the URL http://21cstories.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php (without the “s” after http)

  Here’s the full set of instructions on how to connect from Microsoft
