why do I get Failed to create input stream: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://mydomain.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php?

• if you installed a plugin called Enforce www. Preference, it would affect the path to your xmlrpc.php file, so deactivated it first.
• if you enabled mod_security on apache, it would block access to xmlrpc.php, so add this to your .htaccess file: <Files xmlrpc.php> SecFilterInheritance Off </Files>

why do I get cannot log into blogger account: Invalid Credentials?

• if you enable "Import Comment", Please disable it. This function can not be used now. It is not developed by public Google API.
• if you are using Google Custom Domain, blogsync can not work fine now. Because Google Custom Domain is not currently supported by Google blogger API depended on by blogsync. see this link: http://groups.google.com.pk/group/bloggerDev/browse_thread/thread/2ea2c5ce8ac09f0f
