Holy Crap! WLW FTW

Posted by: John Alberts In: Uncategorized

I just realized the Windows Live Writer works with other blogs, such as WordPress, etc.  I thought it only supported MS blogging services.  This is very cool.  It seems to be a nice blog editor.

I wonder if it will copy and upload this mythtv picture to my server or steal the bandwidth from gentoo-wiki?

This didn’t work on my personal wordpress install, I wonder if it will publish to my wordpress.com blog?

Can I republish this edit without dupes?

 

Well, I guess I can only publish images copied from IE and not firefox?

 

Yeah, this sucks.  I can only copy and paste from IE.  Better than nothing I guess.

Hmm, what to do tonight.

New Blog Editors - Part 2

Posted by: John Alberts In: Uncategorized


…and this post is from the Performancing blog editor. I think I like this one better. Seem to have a nicer feel to it.

It even supports image uploading, which is a very nice feature. It also has a section for connecting to your del.icio.us bookmarks.
