Windows Live Writer

I’ve had a love-hate relationship with Microsoft for years. Hell, I think that can be expanded to encompass computers in general. It’s a living though, so whaddya do…

Once in awhile though something comes along that actually seems useful and almost makes it all worth while. My most recent salvation has been largely because of Windows 7 (which may appear overly fabulous after using the comparably dismal Vista), but I’ve also been experimenting with another nice gadget called Live Writer. This handy tool gives you the ability to work on your blog in a handy non-web-based tool that takes much of the headache out of the process. So far I’ve only tested the thing out with Blogger, but in theory it works with a host of different blog sites. How splendid is that?!

All of the usual editing features one would expect are at the ready, tags are there, adding images is a snap, and there are numerous other features that I haven’t even had occasion to use yet. Best of all, it’s free! (with the qualifying purchase and heart rending upgrade to a suitable version of Windows) If you like to blog or think you’d like to blog, and happen to own a compatible version of Windows, give Microsoft’s site a visit and download today!
