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
OK; just tried another new post, and it showed up on the Blogger list of posts as scheduled again.
I had to go to the edit page to change it to automatic post rather than scheduled.
Scheduled seems to be the default in my setup at the moment.
OK; I downloaded the newest update, and it solved the rejection/error problems.
I watched the little 'publishing' visual do it's thing. And when it was done, the new post was nowhere to be found on the blog. It seemed to have gone off to a black hole.
Until I went to the Blogger dashboard page and looked under posts. It was at the top of the list, with the word 'scheduled' to the right. In other words, it had been received, but not posted on the blog page itself.
I futzed around with the schedule issue and found the little box where you choose "automatic" instead of a time and date, and then it appeared.
In the process, the post lost the WYSIWYG formatting from OLW, and I had to add spaces here and there to have it look the way I intended.
We'll see if the next post, about to go up shortly, suffers the same 'scheduling' problem.
Tremendous progress has been made; and thanks again. I also need to figure out how to get the categories from my WLW days to come over to OLW, unless I have to enter them again.
Thanks, thanks, thanks for the dogged determination and continued efforts.
PS: I am leery of following the Microsoft pressure to 'upgrade' to Windows 10 in order to keep at this.
I am perfectly happy with Windows 7 Home Premium, and would not relish the idea of having to change O/S in two computers, especially with no insights and previews etc. What will it do to RAM use? I don't need touch screen, or any of that....
I updated to Windows 10 today, reinstalled One Live Writer (nightly version that someone here posted the link for) and just published a blog post successfully. Yay! It's a Christmas miracle. ;) Now if it will just keep doing that without any further issues........
I was still having trouble with the Nightly version, so I contacted Scott Hanselman of OLW (******@hanselman.com) and he sent me this link for an update: https://github.com/OpenLiveWriter/OpenLiveWriter/releases/tag/0.5.1.3
I opened the site, clicked on the update link and voila! it worked. At least for a while until there is another glitch. I think you need a github acct. to get future updates. Not sure how to do that.
