Hello. I have found this information very useful for using third party offline software with the NEW Blogger. If you create a new blog with blogger then third party offline blogging software like zoundry will not work because it will be unable to connect. There is a solution. 1.) If you created blogger with a email account other than Gmail then it is a good fact that if you tried to use your third party blogging software that it would not connect to the blogger servers. 2.) Go to google accounts https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount and then sign in with your account details. Eg if you used your hotmail.com account as your email then sign in as xxxxxxx@hotmail.com and then put in your password you used when making the blog account. 3.) It will then say to you that you account has not been verified. To verify your account you will need to log into the email address you used to sign up with and click on the link in the inbox. (Always check your spam folders also just incase it has been sent there!) 4.) Once you have verified your account then you will beable to logon to the blogger servers and use your third party offline blogging software. Happy blogging everyone. The-Hungry-Hamster
