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.

    Google says MS should update WLW and MS does not show interest. 

    This is frustrating !!! 

    Several days I can not update my blog after relying on WLW for years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

    I am angry

    At least MS should show some interest in WLW before dumping it !!

    So where as that may work for others, what about those who don't use Ipad?

    Me too!  I can't imagine why Microsoft isn't more proud of its amazing product.   Almost everyone who uses Live Writer loves it.

    I know, right? Have some sense of responsibility, Microsoft. *smh*

    I swear these companies/institutions nowadays only take action when people lose it and take to streets to riot. Is that what needs to happen here? :(
