XML-RPC is currently disabled – Can’t Use Windows Live Writer

WordPress.com hosts my blog. You have changed something on my blog or all blogs and now I can’t use Windows Live Writer! I have edited posts that I must post and can’t!

I woke up today to post to my blog and can’t. Nothing has changed on my computer since last night or the day before or the day before.

In fact I posted to my blog yesterday with Windows Live Writer.

Error Message:

An error occurred while attempting to connect to your weblog:

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

Invalid response document returned from XmlRpc Server.

This is from the Windows Live Writer log:
