If you are maintaining the website you will need to install the windows live API. Go to http://drupal.org/project/wlw_blogapi and download the latest version of the module.  After you install it, you'll need to make sure that your permissions are set right for your user to access it and you'll need to make sure that the content types that you want to manage are set on www.example.com/admin/settings/blogapi.

Next you will need to install and configure the Windows Live Writer client on your computer. You can download the program at live.com. After you install Live Writer, you'll need to add a weblog account, and this is how we do it:

Step 1

Select "another weblog service".

Step 2

Add your homepage url like this. Your username and password... make sure that you have rights to manage content from Drupal.

Step 3

Since WLW is not designed to manage Drupal in this way, you'll need to choose something else. We designed this to work with the Movable Type API. Enter your xmlrpc.php path. Unless you have changed your Drupal instance, it will be the same as mine below.

Step 4

You should have the option to select the content types that you are authorized to manage. If you don't see your content type, then you should check your Drupal installation and make sure that you are set with the right permissions.

 Step 5

WLW will ask to detect your weblog settings. On the current version of the module, this does not work, so you'll have to select no.

Step 6

Your weblog configuration is complete and now you can use WLW to add this content type. You can change the weblog name to anything you like (you could  change it to the blog name and content type if you like)

Step 7

If you want to manage another content type, just go through the same process but select a different type in step 4.
