My problem is that I have not been able to set up my site styles in WLW… and when I navigate to C:UsersUser_NamAppDataRoamingWindows Live Writer I see the Dictionaries, Keywords and LinkGlossary folders, but Blogtemplates does not exist!

Seems like a catch-22… can't refresh the styles from my site, but don't have the local styles so I can't even change them. Any ideas?
