Hmm. It's posible that there could be a problem with the Google
account, itself, if it's just the 'posting' page that's not coming up.
I'm not familiar with their system, though, so I can't advise how to
check if it's a problem with authentication procedure.
The only other thing I can think of is kind of a long shot. There
have been a number of trojans about that diddle with the hosts file
entries for Google. Seems unlikely that it would effect only the one
type of page, but maybe worth a look.
