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 100% good with posting from WLW to Blogger again, even with 2 factor enabled and using app passwords. Huge thanks to Microsoft, Google and anyone else involved in getting this sorted.

    My question now is what is the roadmap for WLW and Blogger? Are we going to have an issue down the track? Should we be looking to migrate away from WLW and/or Blogger so we don't get caught again?

    Love to hear so I can start preparing now, however once again HUGE thanks you!
