  I cannot post to my WordPress.com blog using the Qumana blog editor that I have installed on my computer.

  Every time I try, I get an error stating “Jetpack: [auth_failed] Authorization header was malformed.”

  What is the solution?

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

  Hi there – Can you disconnect and reconnect your editor to your WordPress.com account? If you still get the error, can you please make a screenshot of what you’re seeing and upload it to your blog’s Media Library so I can take a look?

  Here are instructions for how to make a screenshot: http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/
