Windows Live Writer really is a boon to a blogger. It gives a blogger the freedom to write a post without even connecting to the internet or logging in your Blog. Well, for those who don’t know what Windows Live Writer is, Live Writer is a free tool from Microsoft which comes bundled up with Windows Live Essentials. You can download all the tools or just the Writer.
Now back to the topic. After creating this blog(which is on Google Blogger), I wrote a post on Open ID using Windows Live Writer(WLW), then I hit the Publish Button, it started to upload the post, but after some time it gave an error message of timed out or sometimes an unexpected error. The Post contained many pictures. I searched the web for the solution of this problem and found out that it was a common problem suffered by many bloggers who use Google Blogger with WLW.
The Solution:
Later I found out that the error was because WLW tried to upload the images/pictures to a Windows Live Writer(which didn't exist) album on my Picasa Web Album account. As you already be knowing, Google Blogger stores Blog’s images in Picasa Web Album of user. So solution to this widely spread problem is just an Album Name. All you have to do is create an Album named ‘Windows Live Writer’ in your Picasa Web Album(Note that you should be logged in with same Google account which you use to log in to Google Blogger).
You can now Publish Posts written using Windows Live Writer. And don’t misspell the albums name- ‘Windows Live Writer’ .
