Unable to connect to my newly created blog using Windows Live Writer

I'm have difficulties connecting to my newly created blog here on world.episerver. I've followed this guide -> http://world.episerver.com/System/Blog-info/Blogging-on-EPiServer-World but I get the configuration problems descriped in this blog from 2009 -> http://world.episerver.com/blogs/Magnus-Rahl/Dates/2009/1/Windows-Live-Writer--updated-instructions/.

The issues I'm having is that I when clicking next, after added the address, username and password, it says it can't find the correct configuration I need to enter blog type and the URL.

Have I done something wrong?

I believe the newest version of WLW doesn't support previous config instructions to blog on World. As far as I know there is now an internal tool being used to blog on World, but not sure if that'll be made available for external bloggers.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to blog :). Hmm, it seems like at the moment that you can have a separate blog and have it "syndicated" on World. I'm not really sure if we can make available that tool, but perhaps you can leave feedback to the World team - http://world.episerver.com/support/Features-on-world/?productFilter=EPiServer+World

Thanks for the answer! I'll have to create a blog then I guess.

You don't have the possiblity to ask inside EPiServer if it's possible to make me an "outsider test-blogger" for your tool until I get a blog that syndicates could you? :)

Haha, would be nice to have outside testers :). Maybe if you asked very nicely in the feature request page you may get rewarded ;).

@Richly: I think this should be prioritized. A tool should be supported, even if it's just giving people a WYSISYG inline editor directly on World. 

Not everyone has, or wants, an external blog syndicated to World.

(Moving this thread to the "Feature requests" forum.
For reference, OP has created a World feature request for this issue. /Moderator)
