  Hi
  Could find anything about this problem anywhere. So sorry to have to ask…

  I want to authorize my Klout account to access my wordpress blogs. It works with Twitter, Facebook, Google etc, but when I try to authorize Klout to use WordPress, it fails. It asks me for my username: scrybler and my password, which I supply. I then click on the authorize button which takes me to this page:
  [redacted]

  Which just appears an HTTP 403 error: The website declined to show this webpage.
  Refreshing (CTR-F5) or using a different browser doesn’t help

  I’ve now spent two weeks trying to resolve this problem without success. Is there anything you can do to help?

  Regards
  David Marshall

  Now that you’re logged into to WP.com, try again from scratch. If it still doesn’t work then, it’s probably best to contact Klout directly as they wrote all of the client code that interacts with our Oauth API. Let us know how it goes.
