Excuse

This post is a blatant excuse to use Windows Live Writer, or rather to explain why I used it for that post. I gave up on Performancing because of a dozen or so 'some failure with an object thingy'-type messages too many. The nice thing about Performancing was the ability to compose off-line. Live Writer does that too, except it also lets you compose using the same styles as your blog. Even better, when it discovered that the blog platform I use didn't support uploading the map thumbnail, Live Writer popped up a little dialog that allowed me to specify an ftp site to use for the asset instead.

Niggles. I haven't found how to insert a <br/> rather than a <p></p> and Live Writer doesn't have a nice way to insert technorati tags. But then I guess they're the kind of thing the SDK is for... more on on10.net.

 

technorati tags: LiveWriter, Performancing, Tools
