Windows Live Writer

[synchar]

Obviously a lot of people here use Wordpress a lot. Anyone use Windows Live Writer to make posts? Unfortunately, my last site that ran WordPress wouldn't sync up with Live Writer. Currently though I'm setting up a new site and just synced Live Writer with my new blog. Anyone ever used it? Do you like it or am I just wasting my time?

I think that the easiest way to make blog posts in through the blogging software that you are using.

So, I've played around with Live Writer a little more now. I love it. My only complaint is that I can't put in information for things like All-in-one-SEO through Live Writer so I still need to go into the actual post and put in that information.

Still, I tend to write quite a few posts at a time and then nothing for a while and Live Writer is great for that. When you go to publish a post you can have it wait until a time you set in order to publish the post.

So, yeah, I guess I like it if I'm going to be writing a lot at once.

Live writer? Did I miss something? Sounds really great and checking it out right now!!

Too bad you can't use all in one SEO on this one though

Let me know what you think of it. I've still not used it a ton. Wish I had more of a use for it but with out the ability to use plugins like all in one SEO I still need to go into wordpress and change stuff.

I have used it before, but the problem with it is that I use custom fields for my images so that they appear like a magazine. I can write the article on Windows Live Writer, but then the time comes that I want to publish and I still have to go in and add the images to the custom fields. Otherwise, my magazine themes don't work effectively and it is just frustrating.
