Connecting to Blogger From a Local Build
If you have built Open Live Writer from code, you may experience a problem if you try and connect to your Blogger blog, you might see this error:
If you do, then you will need to do the following in order to use Live Writer with your blog.
-
Head over to the Google developer console
-
Create a new project
-
Once created, the console will take you to the dashboard for that project, click where it says Enable and Manage APIs
-
Search for the Blogger API
-
Enable that API
-
Click on Credentials on the left
-
In the New Credentials drop down, choose OAuth Client ID
-
If you haven't added any details for your project's consent screen, you'll need to do so at this point.
-
When prompted for your application type, choose other, and just give it a name, then click Create
-
You will then be shown the client ID and Client Secret that need to be used.
-
In your Live Writer repository, go to writer.build.targets and open it in a text editor.
-
Replace the ClientId and Client Secret details where it says PASTE_YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE and PASTE_YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_HERE respectively
-
Now you should be able to build Live Writer again and connect your Blogger blog.
