D as in duh…
I am feeling more than a little foolish right now and the reason is simple… I’m kicking myself for completely forgetting a lesson I learnt not so long ago.
I have been in between computers using both my acer laptop and macbook (it’s a long story). When on the windows-based machine I like to use Windows Live Writer (WLW) to blog as I don’t have to be online to do so and it is pretty easy to save a draft when I’m unable to complete a post in one sitting. So I decide to set up an account in WLW for this blog. All goes well until I need to submit the remote posting url for Wordpress 2.2+. I hit a snag.
“The server reported that the following URL can not be found: http://victoire.za.net/onmydesk/xmlrpc.php. Please ensure you have a valid URL”.
I struggle with the same error for 2 days. I search the net and come across some very helpful sites. Finally I remember that I had the same problem the last time I used this machine, and even blogged the solution on the now defunct victoire.za.net! What was the solution? Uncheck the proxy setting in Internet Explorer… Voila… I’m posting this post from WLW.
