# Ipad "authenticating" error

 * I am self hosting my blog and am trying to my ipad to sinc with my blog. Every
   time i try to enter the information requested by the app (chosing “add self-hosted
   wordpress blog” rather than the other two offers) I get stuck on “authenticating”
   and my ipad progresses no further.
 * I am not sure if i am entering the requested info wrong or of if app is just 
   glitchy. Under URL i assume i have to enter [http://www.website.com/blogname](http://www.website.com/blogname)
   rather than just [http://www.website.com](http://www.website.com) (to be sure
   i tried both ways). After entering this i see that “XML-RPC” appears but i am
   not clicking on that. I then enter the username and password i use on the control
   panel for Apollohosting (my hosting company). I edit my blog using their WordPress
   App (not sure if that makes a difference). Then i see “authenticating” and i 
   get no further.
 * is there anyone out there who can help me get my ipad sinced?

 * Figured it out. Apparently CAPS make a difference when you enter the blog URL…
   I am a happy camper once more
