Do not upgrade to new Blogger.Com version if you use Third Party blogging software

Posted On Friday, January 26, 2007 at at Friday, January 26, 2007 by Ben H  

I recently upgraded to the new version on Blogger.Com for this blog. I wish I wouldn't have because now I cannot get BlogJet to post anymore. The issue is that in order to use the new Blogger.Com you have to create a Google account to use as your login. Well, apparently the third party blogging apps do not know how to connect using your Google account. If I use my old username and password I get a msg stating that my old account was migrated to a Google account. If use the email address and password of my Google account I simple get an invalid user name and password msg. Very flustrating. I might have to look around for a new blogging engine in order to fix this. I recently upgraded to Vista and Office 2007 and I have tons of stuff to blog about, but I hate using the web interface.

    Ben, check out this link. I may just require an email to the Blogger support people.

    According to Blogger, Blogjet can be used.

    Hello Ben,

    Did you ever get a solution to this problem (especially from Word 2007)?

    I agree, it's very frustrating.
