Just found this application from Microsoft. Now, I’m not really a fan of M$ but this app is working very well. It’s easy to use and has some cool features. Basically WLW (Windows Live Writer) is a WYSIWYG blog editor for desktop. I’m using WordPress as my blog engine and until now I’ve done all posting inside FireFox through the web page. That works just fine but it’s a bit slow and uncomfortable.

I’ve looked for this type of (free) desktop blogging editor but none of them works as well as WordPress’s web editor. However, WLW comes very close. One very nice thing about it is that it can use the styles of the web site in it’s WYSIWYG editor. That way you’ll immediately see how the post is going to look once it’s posted on the site.

Here’s where you’ll find it:

It’s still beta but I haven’t had any problems so far. Needless to say that this post it written with WLW .
