 * After following the steps on the authentication instructional page, JSON API 
   tells me I need to use a nonce with my posts (which your examples don’t suggest),
   and when I include the nonce along with the cookie Auth generated, it returns“
   Your ‘nonce’ value was incorrect. Use the ‘get_nonce’ API method.”
 * I’ve tried using both the nonce created by the get_nonce method and your authentication
   method, but neither work. They just say it’s incorrect and I can’t post.
 * To add some clarity: The first two steps in your directions seem to be working.
   I successfully created a nonce and then successfully created a cookie with that
   nonce, but then when I try to post it tells me a) I need a nonce and b) the nonce
   I provide is incorrect.
 * I appreciate the support!
