Open Live Writer for Windows Live Writer

There has been issues with Windows Live Writer recently mailn it is not able to connect to the blogger account. After searching i found this thread.

Windows live writer wont connect to blogger

It says, this was due to a configuration change from the google end.

“Today we ended support for ClientLogin OAuth 1 (3LO), AuthSub, and OpenID2, and started the shutdown process. Clients attempting to use these services will begin to fail and must be migrated to OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.”

However, There is an alternative for this tool called Open Live writer which can be downloaded at http://openlivewriter.org/.

This is my first post from Open Live Writer. Smile  But this does not have taggings. Sad smile

These are the known issues of this tool.

Known issues:

After removing them, click the 'Add blog account...' button in Open Live Writer to set up your Google Blogger accounts.
