Windows Live Writer

January 29, 2009

If you are a blogger, I HIGHLY recommend you check out Windows Live Writer. It is free and it is from Microsoft. And, as I show in the video, I am using it even though I am a Mac user. Even though there are native OS X blogging clients available, I still use Live Writer in a virtual machine over the other options.

It is that good.

It beats the crap out of blogging from within Wordpress. The ease of inserting and resizing images alone makes it awesome.

  • I tried Windows Live Writer but I don't really like it. I am fine using WordPress to do the post. Greg Ellison
  • I give Live Writer a thumbs up. I use it on a daily basis to post to my blogs. I really like some of the add-ons and plugins that are available.

    The "Insert Flickr Image" add-on is particularly useful to me.

    Thanks for featuring WLW here.

  • After seeing this post, I went and downloaded it. I used it to write a blog post about it, as I was exploring it. You can read it here: http://bit.ly/Mg1U

    Awesome little program; thanks for showing me the light!
  • I'm a Windows user; XP currently to be exact. I've been using Windows Live Writer far a number of months to write, format, and design my blog posts.

    I have to agree with David that it is an awesome program. In the last couple of months it's been updated. The updated version has been out of beta during this year and it rocks: it fixed a number of bugs from the previous version plus enhanced performance significantly.

    Just occasionally Microsoft come up with a program that is in itself a work of art: I think Windows Live Writer currently tops that list.

    How about the All-in-One SEO pack on WordPress? I liked Windows Live Writer when I looked at it; how would one go about using the SEO pack with it, since WLW appears to be completely external?
  • I am a huge fan of WLW. It almost doubled my posting frequency. I know it has plugins, but are there any good ones?
  • I've been using Windows Live Writer. It's a must have tool for blogger
