Windows Live Writer – I'm Giving It A Test

A little bit ago, Darren at ProBlogger asked the following question:

If you had to choose 5 blogging tools that were the only ones you could use for the next 12 months what would they be and why?

While there are so many WordPress plugins and other tools for blogging, one thing seemed to show up on many lists his subscribers made.

Windows Live Writer

I honestly have not paid much attention to any of Windows Live.

I have a couple hotmail addresses that were constantly telling me I needed to try Live but I have just been to busy to pay any attention to much that has "beta" in it.

But, I had just tried the performacing extension for Firefox. It was ok, but not great. I was still looking for an inexpensive and flexible way to edit posts.

The default WYSIWIG editor in WordPress does not have h1, h2, h3 ect… tags and I have been increasingly annoyed by the ones I have added as plugins (they are not very reliable).
