Testing Live Writer

This is just a test to see how well Win­dows Live Writer works. I’ve grown accus­tomed to using the Word­Press back­end, but if this makes life eas­ier, I’ll def­i­nitely use it. This isn’t the first time I’ve used a third-party app to write to this blog. I used to use w.Bloggar for a time, and it worked well. I just thought it was a lit­tle too much for what I wanted to do.

The inter­face is very Word-like. That’s not such a bad thing. I like the fact that you can tog­gle between Nor­mal lay­out, Web Lay­out, Web Pre­view and HTML Code. Nor­mal Lay­out doesn’t pull in any of your style infor­ma­tion. Web Lay­out let’s you type your post(s) using your stylesheet. Web Pre­view let’s you pre­view the post within the con­text of your site design. It wasn’t per­fect when I tried it, but that may be more of an issue with my code and IE than any­thing else.

I’d say that all in all I like Writer. It’s easy to use, sup­ports Plu­g­ins, writes fairly clean code…
