Windows Live Writer 2
Productivity / / December 23, 2019
A person who writes a blog no one in doubt that the best way to do this than through the web interface of your blogging platform, but with the help of special software. One of the few really prominent representatives of this category of software is a blog client from Microsoft - Microsoft Live Writer (WLW), which recently upgraded to the second version, but is still in Status Beta. What new has the software in a cursory inspection of his?
Declared the following innovations:
- full editing tables (generated HTML obtained as pure as possible);
- adding categories directly from the client to blog bypassing the "admin";
- the creation of static pages of information in the blogs on WordPress and TypePad, and can be directly in the client to create a tree-like structure of the static part of the blog;
- System stunning insert hyperlinks (the idea is that you can link to register as a classical way, and select the link to your previous post of every blog registered in WLW directly in the program without using the browser);
- auto-save dialed online, as well as complete synchronization of content;
- Integration with Windows Live Gallery;
- tag support blogging platform Blogger directly from WLW;
- expanded the list of hot keys;
- check until only the English grammar;
- …
WLW functionality can be extended by third-party plug-ins. For example, I use a very convenient plug-in to insert images from Flickr.
If we talk about blogging platforms and hosting of personal diaries that "out of the box" are supported by the WLW, the list of them is worthy of the deepest respect:
- Windows Live Spaces (corporate services from Microsoft blogging);
- SharePoint Weblog (a solution for enterprise customers who are using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server to maintain corporate blogs, mainly in the Intranet, and others.);
- other (this is the most interesting):
Also, it's worth noting that WLW is ideally integrated into the Vista Aero interface, which gives him a huge aesthetic advantage over competitors.
Generally, it is currently difficult to find a completely free blog client with similar functionality, but when you consider that the distribution of "weighs" 5,4Mb all, the Windows Live Writer Beta 2 - the best solution for any blogger today!
