Hey @KirkDCO! So sorry for the delay in getting to your message here, and sorry for the trouble you are experiencing getting your account connected!
Would you mind opening a support ticket by emailing support@rstudio.com ? If you can share some details around the error messages you are receiving, that would be great!
If you can generate a bit more diagnostic information, that would help us diagnose as well! You can set this in your R console by executing:
options(rsconnect.http.verbose = TRUE)
options(rsconnect.http.trace.json = TRUE)
Then try connecting your account / publishing again! The more information you can provide upon opening a support ticket, the more quickly we can get you resolved here! Also, if you can include the link to this message when you open a ticket, that will help ensure we get some consistency in our messaging to you
