Hi Allan, thanks for your help! this is a follow up to a newsgroup post from yesterday. I am having problems with the blogging bundle. I turned the xmlrpc logging on - see below.

On the server, you need to create a writable (by your apache user) directory for the uploads and set that in the WordPress preferences.

"the uploads" meaning for example jpg files that I would upload with a blog post? I can create a directory on my server (that is not my own apache server, but a hosted one) and I can probably find the corresponding setting in wordpress... but I guess the following issue should be resolved first.

Is this a 100% untampered WordPress 2.0 install?

In your install of WP is a xmlrpc.php file, set $xmlrpc_logging = 1; in that file and check what the XML-RPC log says when you post, i.e. if TM provides the post in two chunks. If it does, it is your WP install which needs fixing.

The xmlrpc.log looks like this. With "two chunks" - do you mean the part highlighted in red?
