Test with Microsoft Live Writer Beta

Let's see how this text will end up on my blog.

First let's insert a picture:

OK, seems to be nicely imported into Live Writer and resized. They even added a nice shadow frame automatically. Wow, would be cool if this ends up really WYSIWYG on the web.

Finally, let's add a link to my Flickr Photolog.

Wow, it even seems you can add tags, provided by Technorati, Flickr and others. But I try that later.

Now let's publish it and see what happens.

And now I edited the post with this comment, let's see what happens...

Yep, what I hoped it would do, that is no create a second post, but nicely editing the previously posted entry. Kewl!

Finally I added the Flickr4Writer plugin. Now let's see what happens if I use the "Add Flickr Image" button:

No shadow border here yet still, it works and it let's you configure a bunch of stuff.

Now let's see if this text will actually be ALgerian typeface on the blog. 

Yep, very, very nice!

One of the best little tools I have seen recently. Go on and get your copy at Microsoft Live Writer Beta
