@philam – give it a try.

@Pink – the problem with Word is it puts a lot of junk in your source code. Sometimes I take info that is in a word doc and then put it into Live Writer to clean up the code automatically. Works like a charm!

I write everything in Word. It helps with typos and grammar. It is not 100% fool proof, but it’s saved me from looking like a fool more than once.

@Michelle – you can’t upload to AR directly from LWR. I use it to write my AR posts, then copy and paste. That way it’s still easy and I don’t have all the formatting code Word puts in there. No shortcut for AR, though, unfortunately.

@Gaming YouTube – LWR autosaves too, which has saved me a couple of times!

I actually just enter them into wordpress as I go...which probably isn't the best idea, but I'm lazy like that. Actually, it does auto-save the drafts, so in the event a lightning bolt hits my computer I would probably only lose a couple sentences. Then again I'd probably be dead...hmmm...

Please pardon my ignorance, but if I would like to use WLW for Active Rain, which blogging platform do I select (WordPress, Atom, etc.)? I have been trying out NVU, but would like to try this out as well. Thanks.

@Seon – like the picture feature – it’s so much easier to use.

@DStudioBali – I looked at post2blog but it doesn’t seem to have as many features.

@Christoph – it does; LiveWriter pulls the existing post from the server, you edit it, add a pic, whatever you want, then repost. Works like a charm!

Hey there! thanks for pointing me to this interesting tool, which sounds great. BUT - does it actually support editing/rewriting existing posts, or is a oneway thing? Thanks Christoph Christoph C. Cempers last blog post..DAS Domain Research Tool jetzt zum Sonderpreis

I like to write them directly in to WordPress. The reason being is that I haven’t been able to find any offline blogging software that has all the features that I need. For example, there are a number of plugins that I run on my websites and I find that I would be double handling the post.. if that makes sense. I would like to try Windows Livewriter however I recently switched to the MAC platform and can honestly say after being a Windows person for all my life, I will never go back.

I never was thinking before about using any tools for postings. I just go to my blog and write there. Thanks for the info, I will try the Windows LiveWriter. The most attractive feature for me is that one that deals with pictures.

@harmano – I found MarsEdit 2 for Mac, with a 30 day free trial, but it costs $29.95. It’s supposed to be excellent. I couldn’t find a free one.

@Jesse – WP takes so long, at least for me, and LW is quick.

@Web Talk – I can’t imagine how it could be exploited. Essentially it uploads the post to the blog via ftp. I’d like to hear more about it.

@Ryan – Word add awfull formatting! I think you’ll love LiveWriter.

@Eric – tables are super easy in LW; it’s one of the features I really like.

It’s my first time to visit your website. I have my personal blog and it depends upon my mood. I need to check that Windows Livewriter so that i can add some good things on blog. Thanks for the information!

I am going to have to check this one out. I don't like to use Word because it leaves weird formatting information in my post. Typically I write my posts in Word and then transfer them into Notepad before I paste them in my blog. This program might help save me the extra steps.
