Yep. Seems to be fixed! Thanks for referring me to this thread HandySolo!
I have the same exact problem. Also my pings to Technorati seem to have no effect since yesterday because they aren’t updating my feeds. I guess it’s all related huh? They must have crashed yesterday and hosed everything up.
Thanks HandySolo I’ll check it out. Apparently my search-fu is a bit off kilter.
I’m glad you got it resolved. I had a problem where 2.0.4 was hanging while posting. I also thought that Firefix 1.5.0.6 was the culprit however it was actually related to having too many rpc’s listed in the updating service of WordPress. I removed all rpc’s except for pingomatic and technorati and the publishing is now blazingly fast.
