# 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.
|
|
|
|
1. Head over to the [Google developer console](https://console.developers.google.com/project)
|
|
2. Create a new project
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Once created, the console will take you to the dashboard for that project, click where it says Enable and Manage APIs
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Search for the Blogger API
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Enable that API
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Click on Credentials on the left
|
|
7. In the New Credentials drop down, choose OAuth Client ID
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. If you haven't added any details for your project's consent screen, you'll need to do so at this point.
|
|
9. When prompted for your application type, choose other, and just give it a name, then click Create
|
|
10. You will then be shown the client ID and Client Secret that need to be used.
|
|
11. In your Live Writer repository, go to `\src\managed\OpenLiveWriter.BlogClient\Clients\GoogleBloggerv3Secrets.json` and open it in a text editor.
|
|
> Note: If this file does not exist, create it and add the following:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"installed": {
|
|
"client_id": "PASTE_YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE",
|
|
"client_secret": "PASTE_YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_HERE"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
12. Replace the ClientId and Client Secret details where it says PASTE\_YOUR\_CLIENT\_ID\_HERE and PASTE\_YOUR\_CLIENT\_SECRET\_HERE respectively
|
|
13. Now you should be able to build Live Writer again and connect your Blogger blog.
