    I am having problems with using programs to create blog posts offline. I do have the xmlrpc button checked in the Writing Settings. I started try to use Windows Live Writer, but it didn’t work. It gave me the xmlrpc.php error. I searched all over the web for a solution. I tried contacting my host to see if they were blocking access to the file. I tried editing my .htaccess file. But when I did this it gave me a 500 error message. I tried editing the php.ini file. I tried disabling all plugins and still no avail. I think I tried everything. I also tried a different blogging software. I tried ScribeFire and it gave me a similiar error. So I don’t know what is the problem. I am new to this so I tried everything I could think of and everything i searched.
    Please help,
    Gus

    You didn’t indicate what error Windows Live Writer or ScribeFire indicated. That would be helpful in tracking down what the problem is.

    Sorry. This is the entire error message from Live Writer:
    An error occured while attempting to connect to your weblog:

    Invalid Server Response – The response to the blogger.getUsersBlogs method received from the weblog server was invalid:

    Invaild response document returned from XmlRpc server

    You must correct this error before proceeding.

    And from ScribeFire:
    The server returned a malformed response. Please check that your blog and API URLs are correct.

    Thanks for the help.

    Any chance this is a WPMU blog? I think there was a release of WPMU that problems with blogger.getUsersBlogs that has since been fixed in recent versions.

    I don’t think so. I just downloaded it from http://wordpress.org/download/

    What’s the URL for this blog? I can at least check if the basic XML-RPC features are working correctly.

    thanks a lot for your help. I think the only thing I haven’t tried is to reinstall the blog. I don’t know if that would help any.

    Ahhh, your using the free hosting at GoDaddy. They inject some Javascript with every request, which breaks the XML-RPC format.

    So its GoDaddy’s fault. I think I’m too cheap. I’ll see what I can do and post my solution.

    Ok so what I ended up doing was upgrading my hosting account to put my blog on my ftp server without GoDaddy’s ads. Now it all works.
