Windows live writer does not work with this #3

Generates an error message and won't allow you to setup a connection. Not really expecting support for it, but it would be nice if you could.

Very hard to do anything about this without more information, as I have neither windows live writer, nor a windows box to run it on :)

Invalid server response. The response to the blogger.getUserBlogs method received from the blog server was invalid.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I know, not very helpful.

getUsersBlogs has 2 different implementations depending on if it's called as blogger.getUsersBlogs or wp.getUsersBlogs. But I try to return something that works in both cases.

metaweblog is a pain - there's no central spec, and noone sticks to what little spec there is anyway. To fix this I'd need to know what sort of response live writer is expecting, then change my code to return the right thing. Can you send me the log file (Help | About | Show log file apparently)

Alternatively, can you manually specify the blog ID anywhere in the UI? That should bypass the call to getUsersBlogs and make things work. Or it might just move you along to the next error message...

Hmm, I think I missed a spelling difference between the APIs. I've pushed a change to the blogger.getUserBlogs api - can you also pull and try that? Thanks.

That update fixed the issue. Windows Live Writer now works. Thanks.
