Problem with using wp-load.php outside of WordPress

Question

I'm trying to use wp-load.php in a page outside of wordpress so I can access all the functions in wordpress. Typically I just include the file like this

require( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/blog/wp-load.php' ); 

But it doesn't seem to be working. Any tips on what can be going on?

Thanks, Paul

Including wp-load.php will not setup the WordPress query.
