Blog Client- Windows Live Writer
Posted by Jeff August 14, 2006
I’m posting using Live Writer - a free blog client from MS. Download link is direct to an MSI installer file, which made my jaw drop. I declined installing the Live toolbar — whatever that is. The editor is really WYSYWIG - not just styled HTML, but shows the blog template too. Setup is easy - give it URL, username and password. It discovered my Wordpress blog without incident.
It supports categories but not Technorati tags - an essential feature. I suppose I can post as a draft, then add tags and publish from Wordpress, but that’s clumbsy. Maybe someone will do a plugin There is a plugin for Technorati tags.
Does it beat Performancing? Time will tell if it’s good enough to leave Firefox and launch another app. I doubt it.
