I get to know about this Blog Writer software from 小鱼博客. Without any delay, i downloaded it to give it a try. Well, this blog entry was written and published using Windows Live Writer.
After the installation, i have to go through some very simple steps to setup my weblog setting. No problem at all at this stage.
Windows Live Writer will then download the weblog style so that when you write your blog entry using Windows Live Writer, you will see immediately the look and feel.
In terms of editing functions, i would give Windows Live Writer a thumb up. I have to be honest with the fact the i never use any Blog Writer software before. But the user interface of Windows Live Writer is very simple and straigt-forward. It makes editing and formatting you blog entry extreamly easy with WYSIWYG. You no longer need to write your own HTML.
Some of the features:
- Easily format text: color size weight italic underline
strike-through - Spelling Checker
- All other elements which you can do it with WYSIWYG, wihout have to switch to HTML code, like table, insert picture.
- If you are using Windows Live Space, i think there are a lot of custom plug in that you can use with this Windows Live Writer.
One downside i found is, Windows Live Writer doesn't support uploading images for BlogSpot. However, if you have a FTP server, Windows Live Writer can upload image to the FTP server and display the image from the Server.
So, what are you waiting for?? Go ahead and download and try using it.
