Writing a Post with WLW

So I’ve decided to do a quick primer on how to write a nicely formatted blog post using only Windows Live Writer. Now when it comes to my blog, I don’t normally format it much. The default style that’s applied to my blog is enough to satisfy me. I do sometimes like to post pictures, though. So let’s do that now. Voila, now I’ve added a picture to this post. The best part is that WLW will automatically start wrapping my text around the image as I’m filling out my blog post. Windows Live Writer takes all the best parts of blogging and makes it that much more simple. If you’re watching the shockwave tutorial, you’ll see many “Insert” links along the side. These links provide quick shortcuts for adding pictures, hyperlinks, tables, maps, video, Amazon.com book details, code, and more! Many enthusiastic WLW hobbyists have contributed their own plugins as well, giving you that much more functionality. I’m going to wrap up this post now, and provide a link to the location of the screencast so you can watch the tutorial.

Normally when done writing a post you’d click “Publish”, but we’re going to save this so that I can stop the recording.
