Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This has been bugging me for months. I looked at the characters in the article you referenced and wasn’t able to find those in my database. But it did get me going down the path of trying to find the problem post.

I added a bunch of test posts and used Live Writer to retrieve the latest 20 posts. When Live Writer successfully retrieved 20 posts, I began deleting test posts one at a time and re-retrieving from Live Writer until I hit an error. This allowed me to identify the problem post.

Then I deleted portions of that post until I found the problem text. I’ve copied the problem block below. I never figured out which characters were causing Live Writer to choke – in the end I just deleted and reinserted the picture.

Thanks for your help!
