I love me some Windows Live Writer!

For those of you that blog…

For those of you that write a lot of Notes on Facebook…

You should really try Windows Live Writer!

If you have an “outside” blog as I do (Blogger, Vox, LiveJournal, Typepad, etc.), you can set up those accounts in WLW. Not only that, but WLW will access those sites and pull off your formatting and style template so that as you type in WLW, it shows you exactly how it will look on your blog.

If you are only a “Facebook internal blogger” (Facebook Notes) you can still use this… if you have an outside blog. Just set your Notes to import all posts from your outside blog.

Anyway, there are several plugins for WLW that make it an even stronger WYSIWYG blog editor… you can automatically post pics, videos, Flickr streams, maps, etc. I really like Zemanta. It will read your post as you are writing it, and offer links and pictures to go with concepts or tags within you post. Click on the suggestion in the Zemanta window and it is automatically added to your post!

Anyway, if you have never used it or you think HTML is someone’s license plate for Hot Tamale rather than website code… then you should check out Windows Live Writer!
