Business owners who employ the use of blogs to market their business will definitely benefit from the blog authoring tool that is Windows Live Writer. It supports a wide range array of blogging platforms such as Windows Live Spaces, Blogger and Wordpress. Its main appeal for blog posters is its WYSIWYG (acronym for What You See Is What You Get) feature.
Truly Notable Features of the Windows Live Writer
WYSIWYG means that whatever post you write and however you write a post locally, you will know exactly what it will look like when you publish it. Some blog authoring tools claim that theirs is a WYSIWYG tool only to find out that it's really not when you do publish your posts.
The Windows Live Writer is auto configured to identify the style and format of your blog such as colors, fonts, images, spacing and the like so that when you edit a post, you can automatically use the same style. Views like HTML source code editing and preview of your blog post is also included so that you don't have to painstakingly nip every detail of your post.
Photo publishing is made even easier with the application. You can customize, insert and upload photos to your blog very easily. Inserting photos into your blog is made possible by simply copying and pasting from the web or through the “Insert Picture” dialog box which carries tons of images.
You can also edit your images by using the Windows Live Writer's editing tools which includes altering size, borders, text wrapping and applying special graphic effects, plus the added bonus of specifying a small thumbnail to be linked to a bigger photo for viewing.
Another notable feature is the application's ability to publish maps by simply inserting a Windows Live Local Map or a customized map which is available in the application. Details of the map such as bird's eye view can be included. When the readers click on your map, they will get a bigger and more detailed view by being redirected to the Windows Live Local web site.
The Windows Live Writer also has a Windows Live Writer SDK which can publish extra content types such as tags from tagging services themselves, link from e-commerce web sites, rooted audio and video players and images from online photo publishing web sites.
