This weekend I wanted to use the “Blog this” feature on digg to write about some articles. Unfortunately whenever I submitted the post it kept telling me that the HTTP response had been something other than 200.
As I write all my posts with performancing for firefox I am pretty sure that the xml-rpc interface of my wordpress is working fine and so I wrote a mail to the digg support. And they did in fact respond several times though it was weekend.
In the end I did not change any settings (or at least they are now on a setting that I had used before and had now success with) but today I could post directly from digg.
So either there was something wrong on the digg end or the problem resolve magically right after I mailed the support team.
