The first thing that you should do to set up LiveWriter is download the application from here.  After you have it installed, you are ready to set it up to your blog.

Step one is to go to the menu called Blogs.  At the bottom of this menu you should see an option called “Add blog account…”.  After clicking on this you should see the following dialog box.

Notice I have selected the last option called “Other blog service”.  After you have selected that option then click the next button.

Next you will need to supply your web address, username and password.  This should be pretty straight forward.

If you have entered in everything above correctly, it will start the process of setting everything up.  You should see a green progress bar moving towards the right of the dialog box.  This process should only take a few seconds.

After it has been set up you will get the above dialog box.  At this point all you need to do is click finish.

The last step is to enter a tile in the top and write your body.  After that just click the Publish button and your post will added to your blog.

Note: You must have the XML-RPC turn on before LiveWriter will work.
