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.

please make sure that you use the following steps

  1. Verify you are using http or https for you website.
  2. Add ' @gmail.com ' at the end of your user name.
  3. If your account has 2-step verification enabled then see the following guide to use app specific password rather than your original password.

    I have not had any success in resolving this issue on my laptop.  But lo and behold, the system works fine (normally) on my desktop.

    This is very frustrating.  I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what the differences could be in configuration.

    Both machines run Windows 7 Home Premium; both use Firefox 39.0 as browsers.  Both use the same Norton Internet Security software.

    Have uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Live Writer several times, and toggled various settings on google/blogger security settings.

    Still get 'method not allowed' whenever I hit publish.

    Maddening.

    Hello,

    When I copy & paste the "Share" or "Embeded" code from Youtube to Windows Live Writer/Insert Video/From Web, it shows nothing but the message: "Unknown provider or incomplete web address". I do not get a big black box to insert. Do you know how I can work around it?

    Thanks,

    Nhan
