Would like some help with connecting Bitcoind.exe to Blockchain.info.

I'm trying to integrate bitcoin into my webshop, while my hot wallet is hosted by Blockchain.info. One basic thing goes wrong: I can't connect to blockchain.info with Bitcoind. I used "bitcoind getinfo" while having a bitcoin.conf with:
rpcconnect=blockchain.info
rpcport=80
rpcssl=0
rpcuser=mylogincode
rpcpassword=my password
which is copied more or less from the Blockchain api. Result is: error: no response from server.

What is going wrong? Is it a problem that I have in my bitcoin user folder (for win7: users\$user\roaming\bitcoin) my personal wallet?
