Windows 7, a nice OS, by Microsoft standards has no more goodies that used to come with a typical install of windows till Vista.
Now, those nifty little tools have been clubbed as a Windows Essentials Live free download for those that want it. It includes a new Photo Gallery, Revamped Movie Maker, and a hell lot more; but my eyes were on the Live writer – a little tool thats lets you blog from your Desktop – on you machine without using a browser and the tacky web forms.
So I downloaded just that little tool, ran it – and am writing this post on it, lets see how it works
The first thing you will Notice is that it has a minimalistic Notepad mates with word 2007 kind of appearance – not a bad thing though as it goes really well with your Win 7 look.
Now it lets you save your work on your PC, and the numero uno reason for me to use it is there – edit it offline!!!
Well I am just using it – with both my blogs – word press and blogger and the pity is that you cant update to them simultaneously you have to switch the accounts to post to them – but nevertheless it is only a mater of a few more clicks!!! Also one great feature touted is that it will import your blogs theme so that you can see how the edited page will look like – but it didn’t work for me!!! So Let me post this and see how my blog works using Writer
