Windows Live Writer Configuration for Weblogs.asp.net blog account

Friday, October 12, 2007

I have been trying to configure my blogs on windows live writer but unfortunately did not found any documentation on it. So,Thought to put some steps to make it easy...

Here we go..

- Download Windows Live Writer blogs tools (WYSIWYG - What See Is What You Get )
- Open Windows Live Writer and browse to Weblog ---> Add WebLog Account

Select another weblog service and click next

You will get the following screen

Type http://weblogs.asp.net on Weblog Homepage URL with your userID / password and you should get the following screen.

Choose "Community Server" on Type of Weblog that you are using and http://weblogs.aspnet/metablog.ashx on remote posting URL for your weblog and click next

After this,You should be able to post blog from Windows Live Writer as i posting this one.

Hope this helps.

The Remote Posting URL you typed in the blog post does not match your screenshot. It should be: http://weblogs.asp.net/metablog.ashx

I try to login but it always give me :

an error occur while attempting to connect to your blog:
blog server error - Server Error 0 Occurred.
User dose not exist .
You must correct this error before proceeding.

I use my Windows Live ID to login, is there any problem by that?
