Adding a self hosted wordpress blog to youtube

Hi
I searched the forum but could not find an answer for this, so hopefully there is one.

My youtube channel has the option to “add a blog.” When I try to add one of my self hosted word press blogs, it craps out on me. The information that it request is the username, password, API URL, and api key. I put in all that information, and it gives me the very informative line, “An error has occurred. Message: Unknown”

After that, nothing.

I have gone over the setting dozens of times now, and everything is correct, so I’m trying to figure out what kind of ritual I have to perform to make this happen.

I have searched the net and found some that say I don’t need the API key, though YOUtube’s directions say I do.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ken
