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.

    Trackers galore and marketing windows 10.  I don't like the new windows at all.  Looks like its made for old ladies.  Text is took large but of course if you are using your TV and sitting 10 feet away it will be nice I guess.  Researchers and scientists and writers need something else that all there is to it.  Causal surfers will love 10, Kay is not a causal surfer.

    I did read this post and tried OLW in Windows 7 Professional 64, updated. Works fast and smooth. The Google 0Auth2 worked and recover the control of your blogs is simple and straith forward.

    Windows Live Writer is no more supported or updated by Microsoft.

    His security caracteristics and global security level are not sufficient by Google standards and that's the reason for the non autentification with your Google account.

    For resolving these issues you must change your Blogger publication software, read this article with the solution:
