Windows Live Writer: My New Favorite Blogging Tool

And yes, this post is written in it.

Windows Live Writer is one of those programs.  You know the kind, that come bundled with something else and are promptly disregarded.  Chances are, you already have Windows Live Writer on your computer, if you currently use Windows Live/MSN Messenger.  It will be hiding in your Windows Live folder.

I dismissed it too.  Never even opened it to see what it was all about, until I kept coming across references to it.  Went to download it, so I could play with it, and yup, you guessed it…it was sitting pretty on my computer already.  Boy did I feel stupid.

Let me tell you, if you have even one blog (Blogger, WordPress, Typepad etc) then this program can help you become more productive.  If you have half a dozen or more, you simply need this program.  Don’t argue, just do it. 

Everything I need to blog on all my blogs is right at my fingertips, in one program.  And its fully customizable, so you can add many of your favorite blogging plug ins to it.  I’m still finding out all the nifty little things Windows Live Writer does.  You can watermark pictures, tag, insert various media…its literally an all in one blogging tool.  Let me know what you find in the comments!

Yes, I am addicted.  Its made my life easier.
