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.

    Hello,

    Do you guys have problems with embedding Youtube videos in your posts? I cannot embed Youtube videos using Windows Live Writer anymore :(.

    I get a big black box when I try embedding YouTube videos in LiveWriter and I use the YouTube embed code.

    HOWEVER....When I publish my post, the video plays just fine.  Weird, but it works.

    This behavior has been there for some time, it is not related to the recent issue.

    What did you do to get it to work? I'm not getting anything. Bloggeroid on my tablet works fine.
