I have been using the windows live writer for years and today it wont let me post into my blogger blog.
The first error was stating that my user name and password was incorrect so I changed it. It still didn't work and still stating the same issue. I clean/repaired up the windows essentials like other forms said. Now the error message I get is blogger return the following error: Notfound: not found. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it keeps saying the same issue.
Thanks.

I have been using Live Writer for years, too. Probably since 2009. For my Blogger blog. I've never had this happen until yesterday (12-13-15). What do I need to do? I'm still using Windows 8, does that have anything to do with it. Help! I need to publish a post ASAP!
I am willing to switch over to Open Live Writer but I am having the same problem there and cannot set my blog up. So excuse me for asking for help.
Thank you. Until today I didn't even know what OLW (some people seem to call it OWL!) was. A lot of the stuff about the problems with LiveWriter is pretty incomprehensible - I consider myself fairly computer literate even so. I knew that sometime in the future LiveWriter was going to be open source but I did not know when. As far as I was aware (confirmed by what other people had been writing about it) this was still an ongoing problem between Microsoft and Google, and that nobody was doing anything until it did become open source. It's been very hard to get any straight answers about this problem, wherever I have searched online. I did not mean to come over as rude but I have been getting absolutely desperate about this. Of course I am extremely grateful to any unpaid volunteers who are working on this on our behalf - don't get me wrong. I did not even know they were doing so. I am sorry that my previous post caused you (or anybody else for that matter) any offence - that was NOT my intention. I just wanted some action from Microsoft!!
Kind regards.

I just hope somebody with power to put this right is reading this thread. All we users seem able to do is moan about it and nobody actually does anything to help us. Blogging is very important to me and I really want this problem sorted asap. Please, please, please will somebody sort this out for us!!!!!

Please read the previous comments on this thread and follow up with the new Open Live Writer project, which you can find here, rather complaining on this forum, which will be of no help since Microsoft stopped development on WLW three years ago and have finally handed over the code to the open source community.
There is right now a team of developers working unpaid to get the Blogger issue (see here) fixed as a top priority, so that all of us can enjoy the benefits of a working product. There has been significant activity on this just in the last few days. If you are keen to get this fixed, perhaps you could show them some encouragement or even offer some of your time to help out, rather than just shouting about it on this forum, which they will not be reading anyway.
