Is there any way to use MS Live Writer under Windows 8? Or is there another program to use?

I’ve been using Live Writer with Windows 8 with no problem. What are you experiencing?

Here’s the link I used to get Live Writer: http://windows.microsoft.com/e…..essentials

That will also get you all of the free Windows live apps, you can deselect the ones you don’t want.

I was asking on behalf of a friend who thought there wasn’t a version of Live Writer for Windows 8, as well as in advance of possibly upgrading to it myself in the future. Thanks for the reply.

I’m having problems also with windows 8 and live writer that comes with Office 2013. I was able to post blog but the pictures didn’t post I was asked about an on line storage place thingee ??  I never had a problem before with the old laptop. I thought New laptop and new office 2013 with live writer would be a breeze. 

Please Help

It sounds like you got the Picture setting changed to FTP site. Check your Blog settings (Blog Account, Blog Options, Pictures) and be sure the Picture setting is Blog Service:
