Windows Live Writer

Summer holidays are over, so it is time to get back down to business and catch up on what has been going on in the tech business. I kept half an ear open to the news, but spent tonight going through the last couple of months of posts from my RSS feeds. As always i came a away with a couple of awsome little tidbits. The coolest discovery is the new Blog publishing tool from microsoft, Windows live writer. It is by the same guy that wrote coldfusion and I have to say I'm impressed. Although MS Spaces gets a bit of mention it works seemlessly with Typepad and Blogger as well. You just specify the Blog URL and your username and password and live writer does the rest. You now get to see a WYSIWYG view of your style template as you enter your post and post it to your blog with a click of the button. There are of course lots of tools that have allowed remote posting, but the WYSIWYG approach is the new thing now.
