Live Writer
I can’t recall where exactly I read or heard about Live Writer, but decided to finally download it and give it a try and see if its worth all the hype. I some times like to wait until the dust clears, and the fixes come out before testing something out. At first glance it seems quite easy to create a post with the template style sheet information being used to show you exactly how your post will look prior to publishing. It has a spell checker, which is always a plus when it comes to writing. Allows you multiple accounts to publish to an assortment of blogs depending on your posting needs. I’m curious how it handles images during posting .. I guess I’ll find out when I publish this. Then there’s the perks .. advantage .. or annoyance of having plug-in options. What would the world be like without more plug-ins?
It’s basically a very well equipped GUI based html editor for blog posting so if that’s what your looking for and you want a break from actually posting via the back-end editor then I’d suggest give this a test drive.
All in all I think I’ll keep using it for now .. unless something else comes out that does the same thing … with the same price tag. Free FTW.
