microsoft windows live writer sucks (part 1)

try to publish to blogger with a picture included and you get the error:


funny, if I just use the regular blogger interface it works fine.  so why does microsoft give me options that their software doesn't support? this is a good reason to not use windows live writer.

Update: I (not surprisingly) am not the first to notice this problem. The Dino and friends futilely tried to work around it months ago.

The Writer team have said that this will be fixed in the next release. Blogger updated their APIs just before beta 2 came out to actually allow third party clients to upload pictures.
