Actually I got this error when I tried to setup Windows Live Writer (WLW) to publish on my blog.
“An error occured while connecting to your weblog : Server error…, 403 forbidden…”
I googled for the solution but only in vain, because I didn’t understand what they are telling. Those solutions are too complicated because they involve editing .htaccess files of your web-host.. blah.. blah.. blah…
At last I found a solution which is very simple. I found this solution at Scribefire help guide. I am sharing this work around with you as I think this may be helpful to you. To solve XML-RPC problem see below
1. Go to this page http://<your-site-name>/wp-admin/options-writing.php
2. If wordpress asks you to log in, then log in using your username and password.
3. After logging in, under the Remote publishing category enable XML-RPC option and save changes. For more assistance then see image below.
Windows Live Writer error
That’s it. This is solves the XML-RPC problem.
NOTE : This work around is only for wordpress but not sure whether it works with other CMS platforms.

Неплохой пост, но много лишнего.
Елки, для профессионалов статья
Я подписался на RSS ленту, но сообщения почему-то в виде каких-то иероглифов
Как это исправить?
Прочитал с большим интересом, очень интересая история. Начинаю себя вспоминать, у меня все так же начиналось
