  I am new to WordPress and I would like to upload my Word Document to my (free) blog. I get an error message from Word that is can not register my account. I am using Office 13. I entered in Blog Post URL http://<Mary and Marty’s Christmas Cruise>/xmlrpc.php, along with my username and password. Where did I go wrong?

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

  Hi there,

  When you set up that connection to use Word as your editor, you’ll need to use the link to your blog site (not individual posts) plus “xmlrpc.php.” This is the link you’ll need to use for your site:

  https://y2kcrackers2989.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)

  Thanks. I eventually figured out the issue, that was the prefix “HTTP” instead of “HTTPS” Once i changed it, all loaded ok.
