 * After updating to the latest version of WordPress which updated snoopy I get 
   the following error which I didn’t get before updating …
 *     ```
       Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in <snip>/wp-includes/class-snoopy.php on line 1142
   
       Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to webmaster.live.com:80 (Unknown error) in <snip>/wp-includes/class-snoopy.php on line 1142
   
       Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at <snip>/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 770
       ```
   
 * Not sure if connecting to webmaster.live.com is a new thing as well but editing
   and publishing is no longer possible. Do we have to connect to webmaster.live.
   com? … if not can we just download whatever WP needs locally?
