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.

    I am having the exact same problem!  When I finally called Microsoft support, all they do is say they are not trained in how to offer support for live writer, and refer me to use microsoft office instead.  That is no help!  and Office doesn't offer anything even close to the same type of thing.  I can't exist without Windows Live Writer!
