'  Use your WordPress login, such as "admin", not the application name.

'  Note: For this to work, you'll likely need to update your .htaccess file on your WordPress server.
'  Otherwise you'll get this error:
'  
'  401 : Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user
'  
'  Your default .htaccess file probably looks like this:
'  
'  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
'  RewriteEngine On
'  RewriteBase /
'  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
'  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
'  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
'  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
'  </IfModule>
'  # END WordPress
'  
'  Add the following line immediately after the "RewriteEngine On" line:    RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
'  Your .htaccess file should look like this after the edit:
'  
'  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
'  RewriteEngine On
'  RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
'  RewriteBase /
'  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
