   I've posted this on the WLW forums as well, but it made sense to have it on both "ends" of the problem.

   I'm running WordPress 2.1.2 on one blog, and 2.1 on another. Windows Live Writer works perfectly on the 2.1 blog, but has a problem with the other.

   Whenever I post I get an error, "The response to the metaWeblog.editPost method received from the weblog server was invalid."

   Despite this, the post still appears.

   I realize it's most likely a WLW problem, but I have hopes someone from the WordPress side of things will know what's changed in 2.1.2 to cause this.

   (I've also had the same problem posting images with WLW and 2.1.2, but found a workaround.)

   Thanks for any help!

   You might want to check your 2.1.2 install. I've been using WLW with my 2.1.2 blogs with no issues.

   I know that's not much help, but at least offers the hope that it should work.

   Everything else is working fine with 2.1.2. Any suggestions on what to check (and how to check it)?

   Do you have access to your web server's error logs? Some hosts block access to xmlrpc.php, which is necessary for blog clients. Perhaps that's the issue?

   Hmm... I don't think that's it. I have two blogs on the same host (different domains, though). One is run with WordPress 2.1, the other with 2.1.2.

   Windows Live Writer works flawlessly with the 2.1 blog, but seems to have a problem with the one running 2.1.2. That's why I think the problem might be there.

   I've also seen some other complaints about 2.1.2 compatibility, usually in terms of uploading images.

   I've had this problem basically forever on my blog, where the content DOES get posted, but something about the returned values isn't making the client happy. It's a problem with Flickr, TextMate, and other clients I've tried. I've examined the requests/responses with xmlrpc logging, and even hacking up the base class used to spit out the XML responses, and nothing looks "wrong" per se.

   UPDATE
   I finally just ran Ethereal to capture the true data getting returned, and found out that there was some HTML being injected before the XML response. I searched through my plugins looking for matching markup and found it in the 'Geo' plugin. I think this was also causing issues with my Edit-n-place installation. I disabled the Geo plugin and all is happy!

   Update google sitemaps to v3 - the problem goes away.
