Windows Live Writer I have been looking for an easier way to write blog posts for the few blogs I have. So far I have been looking at a number of different blog editors and every time I have ended up using the online interface.

Some time ago, I tested Windows Live Writer and could not even get it to run properly. Yesterday, I upgraded my MSN Messenger and had the opportunity to install Live Writer at the same time. So I thought "Why not try it again"? Maybe this time it will work.

Well, the installation was easy enough and it started fine. After giving it the log-in to my first blog, Live Writer discovered that it was a WordPress blog and it was ready to go.

Writing feels like writing in a word processor. I like this feeling and I also like being able to save drafts on my laptop. Now I can work on posts even if I am on an airplane with no connection to the internet. Of course, I could do this before by just using any wordprocessor, but I like this feeling of having a dedicated tool for the job. I hope it is easy to switch between different blogs so I can manage all of them from the same interface.

I have installed WYSIWYG editors on all my blogs. I do not like using codes when I write. I feel it interrupts the natural flow of writing. If Live Writer works, I can keep the WYSIWYG plug-in out of WordPress. One less thing to think about to update and install. Now I just wish there was a way to use Live Writer as a Live Comment System…

Do you know of any system for managing comments where you do not have to log in on your website?
