Windows Live Writer – More Info

Aug 14, 2006 | blog

Hey!  If you blog, I feel you need to try out Windows Live Writer.

Microsoft has IMO, a killer offline blogging tool.  It does everything I wanted in an offline editor, and the tie-in to the Windows Live Toolbar is incredible.

WLW works with WordPress, Blogger, Moveable Type, and LiveJournal in addition to Windows Live Spaces.  The functionality is at the right level, and allows you to preview, create drafts, store drafts online/offline, and work with pictures, maps, fonts, and colors right in the interface.

It also has my most desired feature – a spell checker built right in.  While still in beta, it feels like a shipping product, and I’ve covered only a fraction of the features of this great freebie from MS.

Well!  Microsoft comes along and does it again.  This morning on Geekzone, I found a post about Windows Live Writer, an offline blog post editor.  I’ve been looking for something like this for some time.

This post is created using the new tool.  I’ll post more shortly with my thoughts and such.
