I finally figured out what was giving me the timeout error in Leopard, when trying to do anything with the blogging bundle. It was an issue related to my router (an actiontec GT704WG supplied by Verizon) that only had problems with Leopard and not 10.4.

Here is the solution (I stumbled upon this when trying to troubleshoot an issue connecting with adium as well):

1. Visit the router's configuration page and make note of the DNS server IP's (there should be 2 or three of them). Each router will be different on how you need to access the info, so use google if you don't know.

2. Open network preferences, click on the connection you are using and select advanced.

3. Click on the DNS tab and add the DNS entries that you got from your router. (Your router's IP should already be listed there.)

4. You should now be able to connect.

Once I followed those steps the problem was solved. What a relief! I look forward to using the blogging bundle now!

Thanks again for all your help.

Though I have been successful at getting the blogging bundle to work in Tiger, when I try to run it in Leopard and fetch a post I get the following error:

has anyone been able to get the blogging bundle to work in Leopard?

My System: OS X v. 10.5.1 iMac Intel Core Duo ruby 1.8.6 wordpress 2.3

Any insight you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
