Best Desktop Blogging Software - Windows Live Writer (Beta)
Read More Desktop Blogging / Software
Microsoft usually doesn’t ship quality software for Free, but Windows Live Writer is the exception.
Windows Live Writer is the most stable and best Desktop blogging software the we have ever tried. We tried w.bloggar 4.1 and Qumana before, but they are just not stable at all.
w.Bloggar
Our experience shows that w.bloggar 4.0 runs great in the beginning (first few posts), but crashes after that. The problem that we got with w.bloggar 4.0 is “connection time out error”, when we tried to post new articles. Sometimes, we manage to get our articles posted, and sometimes, we can’t. However, other than that, w.bloggar 4.1 is a good piece of open source software that needs some improvement in stability and reliability.
Qumana
I hate to say that but Qumana is so far a piece of junk software for us. We have tried several times to install this desktop blogging software but we never had one success post(Oh ya,We did get one posted on HandCellPhone.com, but after that my Windows Crashed).
Windows Live Writer (Recommended)
Windows Live Writer supports all the major blog applications such as Windows.Live, Wordpress, and TypePad. The good part about Windows Live Writer is its intuitive interface that looks very alike to Microsoft Words that we use.
If you are a programmer geek like us, you can always switch to HTML code mode to do fancy HTML coding.
Windows Live Writer automatic generates thumbnail when you upload pictures. You can also sharpen the uploaded images and resize the images by dragging with your mouse.
Besides that, the feature that we love the most is the Spelling Check (F-7 shortcut key) that proofread our posts before they appears in our blogs.
If you are a tagging geek like us, you would love Windows Live Writer Insert Tag feature that allow you insert tags of major sites likes Technorati, Del.icio.us, Flickr, 43 things and so on.
Conclusion: Admin would pick Windows Live Writer as your primary desktop blogging software for serious blogger or full time blogger who want to make good incomes online as publishers.
