Windows Live Writer

I've been using Windows Live Writer to post the past several blog entries and ... yeah. Yeah, it's good. I would have begun using it long ago, but we had a mis-configuration in Community Server. The tech gods at Penton cleared that up this week and ... ta da! ... it works just fine.

This is important because we're going to be switching the wider SuperSite over to Community Server sometime this year and I had been concerned about using Community Server's Web-based tools to update the site. But now that I can use this tool, things are looking up. This is a great way to post information to the Web.

Anyway... If you do any blogging and haven't taken a look at Windows Live Writer, please do so. It's pretty incredible.

I especially like the in-line preview capabilities, and the fact that you can copy and paste videos. Who would have thought Microsoft's killer Live app would turn out to be WordPress? I hope the powers that be are paying attention. March 15, 2008 11:55 AM
