Pretty cool. Microsoft came out with a new desktop blog writing application that can connect to now only it’s own Windows Live Spaces but most of the custom blog platforms out there, including my favorite: WordPress.
It’s called Windows Live Writer, it’s free and available here.
It’s very MS Word like in it’s operation, true WYSIWYG authoring, but light-weight enough to make edits quick and easy. I also like the built in spell check and the familiar format options that we all know and love.
I’m going to play around with this one for a while, in fact I am writing this article with it, and while it won’t replace the portability of using the Wordpress web interface, it does give you options.
