Windows Live Writer

Posted by TEAM FILEnetworks | 2/01/2007 | | 1 Comments »

Windows Live Writer is a free application designed by Microsoft which enables desktop blog publishing. The software is easy to use and features a user friendly GUI. Download, add your blog to WLW, configure (there is a wizard) and you are good to go. You can just type your blog entry in WLW and format using a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor. You don't even have to open a web browser to publish a blog entry. It's all integrated. (Finally, something Cool from Microsoft.)

We at FILEnetworks have been using it for a while and it's been a smooth operation so far. Keep this in mind though : It's still beta. However during our usage, we found no critical bugs which are usually present in beta releases.

WLW currently supports following blog services:

  • Windows Live Spaces
  • Blogger (All versions)
  • LiveJournal
  • TypePad
  • Wordpress
  • All blogs that are RSD (Really Simple Discoverability) compatible 
  • MetaWeblog Format
  • Moveable Type Format

     

    WLW can be downloaded from the official blog. WLW official blog is located at http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/

    Bottom Line is that this app can be a real time saver if you are a hard core blogger.

      I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
