Windows Live Writer - my choice for blogging

My workflow for writing a blog post was composed of multiple previews and changes. So basically, I was busy 60% of the time writing, and around 40% editing and placing the pictures and other additional tasks. That was up until today.

I want to introduce an awesome product for blogging. This is a new thing for me, and I want to share this nice piece of software that is helping me write this post. The application that I’m talking about is Windows Live Writer - made by Microsoft.  It is a simple desktop software that is does the writing activity more pleasant.

The first question that pops in readers’ mind is: why do you need something like that?
There is no standard answer for this question, but I will try to give my reasons. One of the most important fact is that in this way, by using an external and independent editor, my stats regarding visits will be more accurate. This is helpful when you are trying to see what type of content is more popular and other user behaviors. Other reason will be that I’m no longer forced to use a browser that will sometimes crash due to extensions (Firefox) or lack of stability (others).’

Regarding the program, Windows Live Writer is easy to install. But one nice part is that the configuration is painless - just 2 clicks away. And the benefits are much more than accurate stats - you can see the preview while typing your post, nice and clean interface. You can easily insert video files, pictures, tables (which is painful in Wordpress) and not to mention the Insert Map function.

Also you can add multiple plug-ins from Microsoft’s web site and you can extend this application. But you don’t need me to tell you this - you can find out for yourself. Anyway - Kudos for Windows Live Writer team for this productive piece of software.
