 * Hi, I can download the Jetpack plugin but when I try to connect with wordpress.
   com I get this response…
 * > Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This
   > usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host.
   > Couldn’t resolve host ‘jetpack.wordpress.com’
 * Any idea why?
 * Thank you!!!

 * This usually means your server is blocking outgoing connections. Do you have 
   command line access to your server? If not, you’ll need to contact your host 
   to find out what is going on.
