I simply remember my favorite things…Friday favs…I’m lovin’ Windows Live Writer!

I read about Live Writer on Domestically Speaking
I downloaded it…and I’m lovin’ it!
You write your blog on Live Writer. 
This enables you to  change fonts and to change the font sizes and colors.
You can add pictures…

size them, frame them and
watermark them….
here’s another photo option instead of framing.

When you are done just set your publish date and time on the calendar in the bottom right hand corner, click publish, and it “flies” over to your blog!  You can also retrieve your post back to make changes.  The only thing I would change is that it doesn’t autosave.  Once my computer shut down mid-blog and I lost the whole post.  I now save as I go.
Happy Friday everyone!  Let me know if you decide to try Live Writer and tell me what you think!

  2. I love Live Writer, but I haven't figured out how to resize my pictures. Right now they are tiny. I didn't realize that about not saving; thanks for the tip!

  5. I love it as well and did a post about it this week too. It is so much better than blogger's editor.

  9. Just found your blog today and am enjoying reading your past posts! I am trying Live Writer and I have a question for you. I am having problems w/ the pictures posting. I noticed that you are also a blogspot blogger and thought maybe you could tell me if you had any problems with that? I read the help on it, but am not sure what an "ftp server" is. Any chance you can help me? Thanks!
