As much as I enjoy posting on blogs and forums (I imagine that there is a plural form of forum, but I was never very good at Latin) I find that the editing process can be tedious!
For starters, the browser interface for WordPress-hosted blogs is slower than I’d like, and the HTML editor is quite buggy, especially when using iframes (something I do quite regularly for webinar and online registrations for clients)
I’ve tried Adobe Contribute (no surprise there, for anyone who knows my long history with Adobe) but I had trouble with getting the code just right and adding all the content I’d like. It too seemed a little on the slow side.
Enter Microsoft LiveWriter…
I ran across it when searching for detail on posting to WordPress via email. After successfully setting up the email posting (not a particularly easy task…) I decided to google “weblog desktop client”. After reading 3 reviews where Microsoft LiveWriter was at or near the top of the list, I downloaded it. (Free is free, ya know?)
The interface was straightforward, and the only snag I hit actually explained the problem with my WordPress admin settings.
Bottom line: I managed to set up links to 3 different blogs, post 4 or 5 articles at will, and actually enjoy the process while keeping an eye on today’s NCAA Tournament game.
I can’t wait to use this product more!
