WordPress and Live Writer
I’ve recently changed all of my web sites over to using WordPress and I am hosting them at GoDaddy.com instead of doing my own hosting. This was inspired by a number of things; simpler web hosting, cost savings and not least of which less noise in my own apartment.
One of the things that I dislike the most about WordPress is the editor. It seems to change each time I use it and the WYSIWYG aspects are not as mature as I would like.
Microsoft Live Writer is a software package that Microsoft originally release to be compatible with their own blogging software, but they have since built in support for other packages, most importantly WordPress.
While the support is not as complete as it could be, it seems to perform very well and the environment is similar to MS Word or FrontPage. The major differences being the added support for features that are specific to blogging.
While this may not be the perfect solution, or the final solution that I am going to use, I am going to give it a try for a while.
