Windows live writer setup for blogger.com

I have installed windows live writer on a new Windows 7 system and registered the steps needed to connect Live Writer to my blog.

The Windows 7 and the Live Writer are installed in my native language Dutch, so the screenshots are all in Dutch too.

When Windows Live Writer is started up for the 1st time a Wizard dialog will ask the necessary details to connect to your blog.

For users of blogger.com (or blogspot.com for that matter, the connection is not one of the standard options, so select Other services. Click Next (Volgende).
