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.

    MSFT, if you are reading this thread, please update the Live Writer with new login mechanism for blogger.

    Google Developers via Google+ 1 month ago  -  Shared publicly

    Today we ended support for ClientLogin OAuth 1 (3LO), AuthSub, and OpenID2, and started the shutdown process. Clients attempting to use these services will begin to fail and must be migrated to OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.

    Looks like this may be the culprit.  If so, I suppose it will be up to Microsoft to fix it.

    My Windows Live Writer just went down, too. Has anyone come up with any fixes? 

    The LEHSYS Side Notes fix no longer works for me :(
