I tried to register an account for the forum, but even though I received the password the forum still says my username doesn’t exist.
Anyway, I was having NotFound errors when trying to use my own self hosted blog. I had a sudden realization last night that it might because of my .htaccess and indeed it was.
Apparently WP7 forces the referer field to be something specific: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsphone7series/thread/ac5c2ad3-beef-4db7-b8b2-1524c6eea3d2
So if anyone is having issues with NotFound error, this might be what you’re experiencing.

Saving drafts still doesn’t seem to work. I tried it both on my phone and the emulator and everytime the post was published immediately though the button was disabled. (yes, I am using 1.1) Would be great if you could fix that (or tell me what I did wrong ^^).
I also think that a simple checkbox control for the publish-option would be easier to understand, at first I thought tapping on the publish-button would acutally publish the post. Or make it two different buttons in the application bar, because imho “save” sounds more like “save draft” than “save and publish post”.
still, I’m very happy with this app!
thx and keep up the good work
