Testing windows live writer!

June 22, 2008 – 16:14

Ok, I thought that Windows Live Writer, a free offline blog environment from Microsoft, was just a stripped down version of Word.

It might be that, but it’s a lot more.

True WYSIWYG authoring.  It even grabs my Wordpress theme from the blog, and displays it as I write.

Allows posting, editing, and uploading pictures from within the environment.

Supposedly allows me to insert Windows Live Maps directly into the blog entry.

    Compatibility:  According to Microsoft’s Live Writer Blog, the program supports “Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad, WordPress (and many others).”  It works really well with WordPress, which is what I use on this site.

    So far this is the absolute best piece of offline blogging software that I’ve tried.
