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.

    It still does not work for me.

    I get this message:

       at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.EndGetRequestStream(IAsyncResult asyncResult, TransportContext& context)

       at OpenLiveWriter.PostEditor.UpdateWeblogAsyncOperation.DoWork()

    How do I get my Live Writer back please.

    I have done these steps but the same message comes back to me. Can't connect or wrong username or password or just Not found.

    Please sort this problem out! Upgrade the program so it works with Windows 10.

    Thank you!

    Please read the more recent posts on this thread. WLW is no longer supported, you should download and install Open Live Writer from here.
