Windows Live Writer: Blogging Made Easy

writer_screenshot

For all the bloggers this is THE tool! I stumbled across it recently, and this is the first post i am publishing using the Windows Live Writer. If it does work, I’d say Microsoft has done a good job. What’s surprising is that it works with Blogger, Word Press, LiveJournal and not just Live Spaces. What a relief from the one sided Windows software we have seen till now.

I must admit, I am tense as hell now. I wanna see if this shit really works and I cant tell the world about it, if it really does.

Ok here goes, this is from the website and what it claims. testing 1 2 3 ……..

Ok this is what it claims to provide:

  • Compatibility with your blog service

    Windows Live Spaces, Sharepoint, WordPress, Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad, Moveable Type, Community Server, and many other weblog services.

  • WYSIWYG editing
  • Rich media publishing
    Makes it easier to embed media like pictures. We all know what a pain it is to put pictures on blogger.
  • Powerful editing features
    Its a mini word and includes the basic features like spell check, bullets, numbering, fonts and so on.
  • Offline editing
    Writer synchronizes drafts on your blog with changes you make when you’re offline, so you don’t have to worry about reconciling different versions.
