In recent s9y versions, the index.tpl template has changed to support autodetection for some XMLRPC clients, you might want to try that.

I didn't understand this earlier. Tried enabling XML-RPC plugin worked on my PC, having problems with my web host's server while enabling the plugin. Anyways I am soon looking to migrate away from them. I am having problems configuring anti-spam techines too on that server.
