I have installed and am using these references (per the Google Blogger API Documentation's instructions):

They work correctly. I have this same code working on another test site I'm developing. It's running on my localhost as well, but Visual Studio isn't throwing any errors, and I can see the result I want on the localhost. (It's pulling the blog Title, Author, Links, URI, and a bunch of other stuff). The moment I run it on our hosted site (.NET 3.5 Framework) I get this TimeOut error.

I followed these instructions: http://code.google.com/apis/blogger/docs/2.0/developers_guide_dotnet.html and installed http://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/downloads/list (1.7.0.1 SDK) I'm able to add the references through Visual Studio, so I know they're installed. I can use them on the localhost. Do I need to add them to my hosted site? They should be built into the application when I post, correct?

To put some perspective here, the last time I developed with Microsoft tooling in anger, Win16 was still the most actively used API. Which means I'm at least 15 years out of date on how to use MS's languages and tooling.

The fact that your code works on your own machine, and doesn't work on the hosted machine indicates to me that there is a networking issue on the hosted machine.

Ignoring your code for the moment, we need to get to the point where you can build the sample code (http://google-gdata.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/clients/cs/samples/blogger/ConsoleSample.cs) into an executable and make it work both on your home machine, and the hosted server. Until we have that, there is no point talking about your code.

The thing to test on the hosted server is whether it is firewalled - can you use a web browser on the hosted server to access blogger.com, your weblog, etc. Then we can step down and use the MS equivalents of wget and curl to retrieve the specific urls that form the initial end point of your blog. Then we can use OACurl to confirm that you can do the OAuth dance. And so forth.
