Mike,
Oh! My bad for misunderstanding what you were trying to say.
Looks like my host provider is bad.
Thank You for the explanation. Learn something today.
I have installed the Jetpack by WordPress.com plugin version 2.5 without any problems.
Surprisingly, the Jetpack plugin is working fine and is able to connect to wordpress.com.
Is there a function in the Jetpack plugin that I need to enable to test?
Please do let me know what. Thanks.
