  I’m trying to post from my copy of The Journal made by DavidRM Software. I’m unable to get the post to go through. How should my settings be? Should I use the MetaWeblog API? Should I use the xmlrpc? I’ve been unsucessful so far. Please help!!!

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

  Here’s what I’m using.

  DavidRM Software’s The Journal

  I can post from this program to a self-hosted install of WordPress, but I can’t post from it to WordPress.com

  You can post to w wordpress.com blog using windows live writer which is free ig you have a pc. If you have a mac then Ecto is modestly priced at $20. US.

  Do they have a support forum over at davidrm?

  Looks like a nice package but I had not heard of it before – they should have some sort of FAQ or support system you could ask about WordPress.COM.

  If you can use it to publish to WordPress.ORG sites then I would expect it to work here also, but at a loss as to any other advice.

  @timethief, thanks, but I’m not changing my program.

  @auxclass, it’s not a DavidRM problem. I’ve already checked on that.

  If it’s not compatible with WordPress.com, and it appears not to be, you’ll have to change your program or change your blog to move it off WordPress.com.

  You need to have journal point to, and post to http://www.davidrm.com/xmlrpc.php. Pointing and trying to post to the main page of the live site won’t work.

  The other thing to try is to point it at the actual wordpress.COM URL for your blog, http://blogname.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php
