Using Dreamhost as my host, I’ve become quite reliant on these blogging clients for a number of reasons! But the last few days, you will have noticed that my blogging has become less frequent!

The latest in a series of technical glitches to blight my blog:Ã‚Â BlogDesk has stopped cooperating with my blog software! I’ve tried also w.Bloggar and get similar issues. So I’m thinking: what has Dreamhost changed that is causing problems with blogging clients?

Mmm. I think that warrants an email to them! I’ll post the reply!

You could always switch to a different version of PHP… I switched my blog to version 4.4.x a while ago that might fix the problem…

OK, here’s the reply from Robert at DH:

Hi Kenneth,

I can’t tell for certain without the error messages, but this problem
may be caused by a php 5.2.2 bug (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41293).
I’ve added the following workaround code to all of your WordPress’
xmlrpc.php files that’s running under php 5:

$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents(”php://input”);

If this doesn’t work, please copy and paste the exact error messages to
me and I’ll investigate further.

Thanks!
Robert

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I have been able to get it working again. Just delete the original account in BlogDesk, and make sure you are using the right WordPress option.

If I remember correctly, the admins at DH had to make a couple of changes… I’ll go and dig out their memo to me.

[...] because it worked fine until 9th March 2008. I found that this is not a single issue – read more at http://investorblogger.com/archives/blogdesk-wbloggar-web-clients-but-xml-problems. I hope that DreamHost support will solve this issue [...]

I have the same problem with Blogdesk and my wordpress blog at http://postcardexchange.net. It uses WP 2.1.2 but I don’t think that upgrage would solve this issue. It worked fine until 9th March 2008 so it seems they have changed something at dreamhost. I contacted support but they haven’t sent me a solution yet.

Some little thoughts

FeedBurners Stats are Loopy!
How can my feedburner stats be down by 66% in two days? Really, Google! WTF is going on? (0)

Blast from the past: The missing files...!
After doing the volte-face about WPMU, I remerged the entire blogs I had set up back into this one. However, for some weird reason a number of critical posts went missing. I still have no idea why. And I nearly lost some great posts for ever when I removed the Database, too. Still all was saved by Dreamhost not empting there trashcan on time! For that I’m very thankful. I recovered a dozen or so great posts. But to import them back to this blog, I had to publish them all. Hence yesterday’s feed blast from the past! Do check them out! Apologies if you got too much junk. Next time, I’ll disable the feed. (0)

How many words?
Ever had to write a certain number of words for your blog, twitter or email? I know I’ve faced this. Each time it’ s not convenient to open a word document and paste the text just to find out how many words. My blogging programs don’t have word counters, so I created a WordCount tool for my use and yours. Hope you find it useful. (0)
