Trying out Windows Live Writer
Sunday, September 9th, 2007This is my first post using the Windows Live Writer tool. You can download it from MS Writer Zone.
Having an offline piece of software that enables you to write posts offline is something pretty cool and I’ve often found myself writing posts in notepad, even if I’m 90% of the time online. Why? Because you could write 1/2 hour or more in a online textarea and then submit your post online only to see an error page that nicely tells you that for some mystic reason, you lost your post or the page cannot load or something like that.
My first impression is pretty cool - nice efficient spelling check, all the much needed plugins to insert media to your post - images, videos, even live.com maps, technocrati tags and so on. I’ll write more about this tool once I get to know it and find if it’s really what they advertise it is. Until then here’s a little snapshot of the tool, just to test it’s upload feature ;)
