Blogging to MSN Spaces from Word 2007 Beta

After reading about the features one of the first things I wanted to try with Word 2007 was blogging. In the upper left hand corner of Word click on the Microsoft Windows icon and then choose PUBLISH -> BLOG. From there, the first time you can enter in your MSN Spaces name and secret word which can be found at:

https://secure.spaces.msn.com/YOUR_MSN_SPACES_NAME/MobileSettings.aspx

Then type your title and post body. You can drag and drop pictures into the post body. You can choose and FTP or HTTP to post pictures to.

FTP Format:FTP://USERNAME@ftphost:21/directory/path/to/images

Testing with the following image which I dragged and dropped into Word 2007 beta:

All done typing your post and adding your image(s)? Then click on “Publish” to create the post in MSN. My first test result didn’t work. Seems like maybe FTP not working? Or is my format wrong? The help docs don’t give much helpful info on this one, so still working away at it.
