Windows Live Writer Reviewed

February 27, 2009 – 12:07 am

So I have installed Windows Live Writer a couple of days ago and since then have used it to publish more than ten blog posts on both Blogger and self-hosted WordPress blogs.

While it is a very simple to use desktop publishing programme, I find that the HTML coding for my posts rather messy and I usually have to view source and edit them before posting on my blog, particularly when I have included images in my posts as well. That’s why when I have images, I usually post directly to my blog without using Windows Live Writer.

I like Windows Live Writer generally but wish that it comes with grammar suggestions and auto-correction of words like Microsoft Word. That would help us blog a whole lot faster too! And one other thing that I wish it has is the ability to nofollow links.

For those of you who blog with fancy rainbow coloured text, I am sorry to say, you can’t do that with Windows Live Writer, but then this isn’t something that I would miss.
