 * Download copy of WordPress 2.6.1 if that’s the version of your WordPress. Unzip
   the file and you can find the **xmlrpc.php** file at the root and FTP upload 
   to your installation

    My WordPress is 2.2.1 would that work?

   for your version.

 * Moderator suggested that I should enable xmlrpc.php file in my Options–Writing
   Dashboard file. But there is no such option there for turning on xmlrpc.
    Someone
   else said that his file is missing so I asked the owner of the server where my
   blog is located to install it and he wrote me: “Your xmlrpc.php file is in the
   blog directory. Remote posting is disabled for security reasons since this is
   a major avenue attackers use to upload malicious files to the server . You will
   need to continue logging in as admin to post to your blog.”
 * Does this mean that I cannot configure BlogDesk or Live Writer to prepare post
   off-line or is there some other way to go over his security blocade?
 * To set up this I need my blog ID but wizard cannot find it.
