Hi,
I was looking for a solution to the “400 Bad Request” and couldn’t find one until I stumbled across your blog. Sure enough, I had a “&” in my categories. Thanks!

Hi Al,

From the error message it looks like there is an issue with one or more of the categories that you have used. Check that you aren’t using any ‘special’ characters (like: £ $ % & * ‘ ” <> ) for the categories/tags in your post. Alternatively, try and post a test entry to your blog that does not include any categories at all. If that works then you know that this is where the problem lies.

Hope that helps!!

- Luke
