Short Review of Windows Live Writer

Submitted by jens on Thu, 05/29/2008 - 00:32

I have just bought myself a new computer, a Dell Inspiron 530S and this is my first blog post using it. I am very satisfied with the computer, but the fan makes too much noise. I am not sure if I should do some adjustments in the bios or download speedfan or what I should do about it. At the moment, it's too much noise for me.

Anyways.

A brand new pc, a new start, and why not try a brand new software to write my blog posts as well?

Now, I am testing Windows Live Writer, a free software to publish articles to my blog. I have been using Blogjet for a while, but I have installed it on my laptop, and since I only have 1 license, I will have to uninstall it on my laptop or try and see if Windows Live Writer will do the job just as good.

The reason that I want to use a software like BlogJet or Windows Live Writer to write my blog posts, is because I feel more creative this way. It's a lot more comfortable to write when I use BlogJet, and now Windows Live Writer.

So far, what do I think about Windows Live Writer?

Pros:

  • The design looks really good, I enjoy using it.
  • It's really easy to use and it was easy to install.
  • It discovered my blog settings in just seconds.
  • It has preview (something BlogJet don't have)
  • Windows Live Writer can post my drafts to my blog
  • A lot of really useful plugins
  • It's free.

Cons:

  • So far, I can't find any (but remember, this is my first post)

I was thinking of uploading some screenshots, but why bother, a lot of people have done that already: Paul Stamatiou, InsideMicrosoft, JohnTP and LiveSide.

One of the really cool things about Windows Live Writer is all the various plugins. I have already found a few that I most likely will use:

If you want to watch a video of Windows Live Writer, you should watch this one from YouTube and/or this video.

I am really satisfied with Windows Live Writer, and this won't be my last post using it. Hopefully everything looks just as good on my blog as it does inside the software.
