WINDOWS LIVE WRITER FOR MAC SOFTWARE
It’s also the most intuitive piece of software I’ve ever used (much better than the usual overcomplicated Microsoft offerings – and don’t tell the Husband I said that.)
It’s also now just out of beta, and doesn’t have any glitches that I’ve come across. Writer is part of Windows Live Essentials, which includes free programs for photos, movies, instant messaging, e-mail, blogging, family safety, and more. I use Windows Live Writer with Typepad but believe it’s compatible with Blogger and WordPress as well. Writer makes it easy to share your photos and videos on almost any blog service - Windows Live, WordPress, Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad, and many more. (The only time I use HTML is to add polls and other widgets to my posts). It’s all easy peasy lemon squeezy and doesn’t require an ounce of HTML knowledge. To insert a link, you just right-click on the link text and post in the URL. So you can drag images and text round the page, line them up side by side, make them bigger and smaller, just with your mouse. I’ve got a slightly vested interest in the following, since, as you know, the Husband works for Microsoft (though in a completely different part of the business) but a year or so ago he introduced me to a small downloadable app called Windows Live Writer which has transformed my blogging experience.Įssentially, it’s gives you a WYSIWYG interface for blogging, much like Word in Microsoft Office. There’s some fantastic stuff there, but I’ve been astonished at how many tips include very complex HTML instructions for things like setting up tables, resizing pictures etc. Felicity at All Things Bright and Beautifulhas put together a fabulous series of blogging tips for new bloggers, including many tips from various guest bloggers.
