Windows live writer wont connect to blogger

Anonymous

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

Verify you are using http or https for you website.
Add ' @gmail.com ' at the end of your user name.
If your account has 2-step verification enabled then see the following guide to use app specific password rather than your original password.

Regardless of who is at fault, WLW is used religiously by many bloggers. It would be nice if MS and GOOG could work together to solve this in a timely manner.
