I’ve only been blogging for some 20 months. After I discovered the small feature set and limitations of Blogger’s own editor, I then tried a number of off-line blog editors.
The choice at the time seemed quite small. I started off using an early version of RocketPost, but found that this kept crashing for no apparent reason, then moved onto Qumana, however its then lack of a UK English spell checker and some poor support experiences seemed to annoy me a great deal. I tried some other methods including ordinary text editors and even Word!
During my searching for a replacement, I then discovered a Beta version of Windows Live Writer lurking on a Microsoft web site.
Since then and with the latest upgrade recently loaded, I think I have now found a blog editor that fits all the requirements that I certainly need. It’s consistent, it has many good features and it runs well with no crashes. Its easy to install and set-up and there is a good set of forums to deal with those tricky questions.
If you’re new to blogging and want a good off line blog editor, then Window Live Writer may be the one for you. – No I don’t work for Microsoft and I wish I could say the same for Vista! But it’s getting there.
