@Manuj – No nothing is paid. Everything is free. Which version of WordPress are u using ?
Thanks for this article. It is helpful. Is there a domain/url that would be associated with the blog in order to publish remotely.
Thanks
@Donna – Din quite get you ? Do u mean to say that if one needs to have an domain or URL ? If that’s the question, then one should have it.

@Matthias – Which version of wordpress are you using ?
Thanks for the post. I did everything that you state. However, I need the “remote publishing path” in order to further configure remote publishing via SocialOOmph. Where would I find that? Thanks. (I think that may be to what Donna is referring as well). Great site.
