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.

    THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!! Posting without and with pictures uploaded from my computer now works from WLW. At first it gave me an error message when I tried to post with a pic from my computer, but then I entered the password I was given when I generated a password in my Google account shown here in LEHSYS Side Notes Solution! Thank you so much Google & Microsoft!!!  http://lehsys.blogspot.com/
