Windows Live has this new app out, one that'll help publish rich contents to blogs and this is my first try! Actually, I've never tried any of these things, always used the web versions. So here goes...
Not bad, says my first impression - it's lightweight, allows connecting to all sortsa sites, provides the essential editing functionality...whoa, including taking a screen shot and pasting right into the journal...not bad, not bad. There's quite a few image formatting options such as color pop and watermark - something that you don't get in most similar apps.
Spell checker is up to the mark, but I wish it had a dictionary and thesaurus - even if it just connected up to some web service.
Now it's time to actually preview and publish it - let's see if it as WYSIWYG and whether what I see is what I get...
...preview is pretty nice, except it's not showing the blog break, maybe because it's still unpublished...
...oh I need to label this...here goes...not bad, it pulled all the labels I had in the site. Oh HOLD ON...this is bad, really bad - it misspelled a few of my labels - missing just the last letter!!! For a second I thought I myself misspelled it. But no...it's not me - it's a BUG!!!
...moving on and publishing...
...and it's posted! NICE!!! Hey and what do you know...it got me writing a real blog after six l o n g months.
