Trying Windows Live Writer
Being quite bored at work, as I was waiting for feedback from a colleague, I decided to spend some time fooling around with some Microsoft tools. That’s how I stumbled upon Windows Live Writer.
It’s quite typical of Microsoft to approach a task like that of writing a blog post in the way that they did with Windows Live Writer, i.e. through a standard desktop application. One would say that it is weird or maybe just another example of the fact that Microsoft is still not getting it - a desktop app for writing blog content? However, I think this is brilliant. Yes, a desktop app, that standardizes the way that you write your blog posts, exposes a series of rich editing and formatting capabilities, and in the end of the day, makes posting a new entry as easy as saving a Word document.
Oh, and it works with almost every blogging service!
