charliestewart41 on "Unable to configure Windows Live Writer"

While I admit to being a total newbie here, and think the blog page is ok, not being able to use Windows Live Writer 2011, is a major denial of service.
The February 2009 series of posts are both disingenuous, naive, and inaccurate.
Each time I try to log in to charliestewart41@hotmail.com (Old WL Spaces), I get an Error 504 message
I cannot now log into my blog using that App even though your website says I can because you do not provide me with a clear, cogent and logically understandable set of configuration instructions.
If the purpose of this upgrade was to provide a similar degree of functionality for for Windows Live Spaces people, then at present, in the area of using Windows Live Writer (v 2011; build 15.4.3001.809), you seem to fallen short.
Not an auspicious start:)
