Window Live Writer

 

A new offline publishing software for blog writing.

I'm having a wonderful experience with it.

1) I can write blog offline and than publish it to one or more blog, now most people are having more than one blog. Here I would like to clarify what is 'offline', I'm writing blog without logging in ( offline regarding the blog, not my computer )  that blog.

2) I can edit the post anytime and same a copy to my local computer.

3) With the assistant of picasa plugin, adding photo is just 123, and saving space and traffic of the blog, as the photo is a link from picasa online album.

4) I can publish the same post to different blog, for the sake of different group of viewers, many blog writers are having more than one blog, say yahoo, spaces, blogger, wordpress etc all will bring in some viewers.

5) The interface is handy and seemed more better to write in same environment rather than in different blog. An example, I really can't find my way in live spaces... now with wlw, I just publish what I write, not necessary to get in.

Highly recommended to use wlw, but as its still new, users will encounter quite some hardship in creating account for connection to blog, but solution is pretty available online, ask the right question, the answer will popup.
