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.

    That workaround was how I was logging on to WLW before, EZ Biker. But now that stopped working, too. And nothing will get it to log on anymore.

    Add me to the list of WLW that can't post at my blog. :-( Been reading up on this and did find a solution........ BUT you won't LIKE the complexity of it! Here's the link:

    Hopefully Microsoft and Google will work together to get this resolved. I'd HATE to have to go through all these steps at the link on all the various blogs I have. :-(((
