API support in Windows Live Spaces is not enabled by default, you'll have to enable it by enabling email publish feature in the Live Spaces setting page and set a security code for it.

To add Windows Live Spaces to BlogSync:

  1. Start BlogSync, Go to add source page.
  2. Choose metaWeblog API
  3. Enter this as API address: https://storage.msn.com/storageservice/MetaWeblog.rpc
  4. Enter you blog name as username, please notice that this blog name is not your msn passport name, it's the name of your blog. If you blog is someblog.space.live.com, then the user name should be "someblog".
  5. Enter the security code that you have set in the email publish setting as password.
  6. Click add and it's done.

Please notice that Windows Live Spaces only allow application to read 20 articles through the API, so if you are trying to copy contents from Live Spaces to other blogs, you'll have to find a way to backup your articles to RSS feed format and then using the RSS read functionality to copy them to another blog.
