Blogging with Window Live Writer

Normally I'm not a fan of Microsoft, but in the search for an all-in-one blogging tool for my work blog, here it come Window Live Writer.

The software support off-line blogging with all sophisticated feature of MsWord: table, formatting, header and layout and link with most common Blogging Platform, WordPress, Blogger, Moveable Type and any other blog services compatible with Atom standard.

What I like about Live Writer is the speed. Because it work offline, you enjoy a very fast speed of a office package. It may be very useful if you are going to create a lot of entries at once, a publication list for example. Once you finish all of the drafts, just click the synchronize and go for a coffle.

It also have some nice plug-in that allow user to embed data from online storage such as SkyDrive or Box.net. It seem to craft a reasonable solution for blogger who need to attach files to their post.

I would recommend Live Writer for professional blogger like Tedy Bucca, for myself it will be one-off project for my office digital archive. Otherwise posting through email is still my favorite method.

Here is an example of attachment from SkyDrive
