Windows Live Writer - Second Try

December 27th, 2006 by Toni

Ok, so I’m trying out this new blogging software recommended by the hubby.  So far so good….at least that’s what I thought the first time around :)  Having tried to post this once already, I can tell you this post is not very interesting so you can stop reading now if you want to…. no, really you don’t have to stick with me for this…. I’m serious.  Ok, fine but when you get a bruise from your head smacking your keyboard as you fall asleep don’t come around here leaving nasty comments.

First thing I like - easy download, easy setup… I supplied my url and login info and suddenly I have a true WYSIWYG interface.  (That’s ‘What You See Is What You Get’ for you non-techies out there… Will had to explain it to me the first time too.)  So, I’m typing along and let’s say I want to do something bold or in italics or I want to underline or maybe I want to get really wild and do all three…in color.  Nice.  Let’s see what else we can do.

Pictures  (great layout options, easy to resize, keeps perspective and look at all these cool effects.)

 

 

 

Oops, sorry about the long pause…. I was poking around some of the menus.  It would take to long to explain but sufficed to say… they’re cool.  Easy to manage the post properties and trackbacks

To quote (this is another button on my menu) Thomas Edison:

If there is a better way, find it.

 

I can even get you directions to my house… Just kidding. … I really am just kidding - after about 40 minutes of trying to figure out why this post appeared in the sidebar but did not show its actual content I am blaming it on the map.  So there is one thing that doesn’t work but since I am not currently in the habit of posting maps, overall I’m extremely pleased.

I know you’re on pins and needles wondering where you can get your own copy of this handy dandy blogger notebook.  Here it is and if you like it send my honey a little thank you.

Alright the techno babble is over… you can wake up now.

  1. […] next suggestion and my personal choice (for now) is Windows Live Writer.  I wrote about it before while it was still in beta.  Actually I expected it to stay in beta forever.  After all […]
