Windows Live Writer Twitter Notify Plugin updated to work with the Twitter OAuth rollout

Aaron's Live Writer Blog - I can’t Log in to Twitter with Twitter Notify

“Today Twitter changed the way that you sign into Twitter.  Over the last few months you might not have even know that your favorite Twitter application had been updated with this change.  You were prompted to take a new version and you just updated.  In the case of the Windows Live Writer plug-in Twitter Notify there was no way to notify that you needed to update.  What you would see is that you tried to log in with your user name and password and you would just see a dialog that your user name or password was incorrect as you went to post your blog post. 

Have no fear there is a new version of Twitter Notify in the Live Writer plug-in gallery that works with the changes that Twitter has made.  You just need to install it from the gallery.  Here is a link.

Glad I saw Aaron’s post. I didn’t even think about checking for an update for this plugin (which I use with every post).
