Working out issues with windows live writer...

This is a test post to see if blogger will post blogs since my live writer will not.

  2. Yes I had the same issue last night. Had the post all set in live writer but ended up having to copy it all over into blogger. Adding pictures is such a pain in blogger.

  3. Thanks for the heads up! I've had this happen before. Does it give you a message or it looks like it posts and just never shows up? Guess the wedding blog will have to wait until they fix it. I'm sure not moving all that to blogger direct.

    1. when I try to publish I get an error of "NotFound Not Found" - it appears to be a change that Google made with an API that has altered how our login name and password are handled via a login

  4. There is an issue with live writer, Rick Doyle has a posting on it and checking into, but Blogger works just fine.
    I always post directly to Blogger no problems there.

    Live Writer Issue Looks To Be Caused By Google Change

    As mentioned in my previous post just a few minutes ago it now looks like Google made a change to their API log in protocols on May 26th.

    This change has effectively killed all 3rd party blogger software including Live Writer. What happens next is anyone's guess - either Microsoft or Google is going to have to make a change.

    I really don't see Google reversing course on their new API's so we'll just have to wait and see if Microsoft will update...

  8. I sure hope it gets worked out because I'm with the others, posting directly through Blogger is a pain. It's a good thing I don't have anything to write about.

  9. I don't use Live Writer, but I had issues using blogger on Internet Explorer. I now do the blog using Chrome.

    1. Blogger just works wonderfully with Google Chrome.

  10. Google really do think they rule the world don't they. They are just begging for everyone to go to another platform.

  12. Google is working on a fix and will post at https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/blogger/-49FC2_0l-g;context-place=forum/blogger when one is made...

  13. Blogger itself works fine if you don't add a lot of photos. There is nothing life Live Writer for ease of use with photos. If Google/Windows don't fix this, does anyone know of an alternative offline blog writer to use with Blogger? Thanks!
