Blogging using Windows Live Writer
I never thought I would use a ‘offline’ software to write a note to my online journal (blog).
Windows Live Writer.
Yes, surprisingly supports Blogger and WordPress. Good to see this from Microsoft.
This is my first post using Live Writer in to WordPress. Should say I am impressed with the account setup process which is completely self-run, smooth and uncomplicated.
UI is pretty neat with no extra flak that we usually see in most of MS products.
Now to features, first I’ll try and insert a picture here.
Works. (Yeah, running Windows 7 Beta 7000 Build and loving it)
Next, insert maps.
Let me try inserting a City view of Chennai using this.
Works. And this is cool. Inserting a map snip directly from Live Maps *without* even opening a browser window. wow!
Next, let me try the “Insert Video” option.
Works. Again, inserting a video directly from Youtube without even having to open a browser window. I am really starting to love Live Writer.
Let me see if Live Writer helps me move by lazy bones and start blogging actively again. Hoping! :)
Windows Live Writer, no Microsoft legacy, simple. works.
(Not the usual “Microsoft Windows Live Writer Professional Edition 2009 with SQL Server 2008 Lite Edition CTP” kind of complication in this one certainly) :D
Back
Yes, been a long time but am making a come back to the blogosphere. Going to post more and going to talk to more of my friends from the lovely world of blogosphere.
See you around, often.
