Windows Live Writer is a desktop application that makes it easier to compose compelling blog posts using Windows Live Spaces or your current blog service. Blogging has turned the web into a two-way communications medium. Our goal in creating Writer is to help make blogging more powerful, intuitive, and fun for everyone. Writer has lots of features which we hope make for a better blogging experience. Some of the ones we are most excited about include: • WYSIWYG Blog Authoring • Photo Publishing - Writer makes inserting, customizing, and uploading photos to your blog a snap. • Map Publishing - insert a Windows Live Local map directly into a post. • Writer SDK - extend the capabilities of Writer to publish additional content types. • Compatibility - works with other weblogs including Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad, WordPress (and many others).
