Windows Live Writer

Posted by CDG Interactive under Technology

Windows Live Writer does not seem to like CSS very much.  In theory the WYSIWYG experience should make blogging just that much easier.  Not that I find it super hard now -- but -- it should get easier.  Well I have to say that this um....sucks.  The design is all whacked out and it's actually harder to see what I'm doing.

 

Wait.  Wait.  Belay that order.....

 

I should play before I type.  So the WYSIWIG view bites, but the live preview is pretty hot and the plain text entry version works just dandy.  hmm...I'm going to click a few more buttons.  Amuse yourselfs for a second...

I clicked a few more buttons, and nothing too exciting.  I think the map feature could be cool, but I'm not grooving on it yet.  I was trying to find more things to dog on, but they even include the categories.   There's no built in Technorati tagging, but I'm sure someone will build a plugin to handle that.

 

Hmm....looks like they've included all the basic features.  Now I just need to figure out why this is better than just using the blog systems' editing systems.

 

Thoughts?
