Windows Live Writer is Awesome

December 13, 2008 By Jeff 3 Comments

This is great.  Why hasn’t ANY of the so called authority bloggers that I read on a continual basis mentioned Windows Live Writer to me?  It took Tyler Cruz to write about it the other day for me to hear about it.

Well I am using it, and I think that I will be continuing to use it even though WP2.7 is so slick. 

You see, I don’t have one of those fancy cell data plans and am tethered to hot spots.  So there there is a lot of time when I am travelling that I can’t get online to write my blogs.  I tried to use ScribeFire for a while, but for some reason it wasn’t playing nice with most of the themes on my blogs.  So I simply started to use WORD to write them and then copy them into the Wordpress Editor.  This was incredibly clunky and I still had to play around with the format.

I have been using Live writer for a total of 10 posts so far, and everything looks exactly like I think it should.  I have had to do minimal editing to the post AFTER I published it, to make it look the way that I thought that it should.

So thanks M$ for making a decent product, and TC to helping me find it.

Cheers,
JM
