Have you guys downloaded new build of Windows Live Writer? Although still in Beta stage, I consider it's quite nearly complete and can be more fun and productive to use. Oh, the version and build number at the time of this writing is 1.0 (12.0.1183.516).
I admit, I'm still a new user of Windows Live Writer, but I like the ease of use of the UI and I can easily save drafts for later postings. The last feature I mention is my favorite one, since sometimes I can't go directly write and edit blogs directly on this site and on my other Spaces Live blogs. Supports for more blog types (not just Wordpress, Spaces Live, Blogger and Community Server) is added in this release, and they surely fix some nasty Wordpress blog submit bugs.
What also excites me, now I can harness many kinds of Windows Live Writer plugins at Live Gallery. Yup, one of the nice feature is copying source code from Visual Studio IDE and get formatted! Like this one:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello world!");
}
}
}
Cool, isn't it? :)
