First Post Using Windows Live Blog Editor
Just downloaded Windows Live Writer (Beta). Allows desktop editing and publishing to most blog platforms (with the notable exception of Google’s Blogger). I’m using it to publish to a wordpress.com hosted blog. For my Blooger blogs I’ll continue to use Google’s MS Word add-in.
Allows several views while editing;
- normal (basic text editor style)
- web layout (as rendered web page without blog’s style)
- web preview (using the blog’s template and css)
- and pure HTML code.
Usual editor stuff, spell checker, formatting options, insert images etc. and a very nice insert a windows live map option. Overall, it’s good, pity about the lack of Blogger support (could be put down to Google’s use of the ATOM Publishing API but I think there’s a less technical reason for the omission), but it’s free and it works. Another step on the road to a more user friendly web.
UPDATE: I’ve managed to post to Blogger ! Was getting a error when publishing but I tried again and it works.
