Live Writer and a cute model
I used Microsoft’s Live Writer to post once or twice on previous blogs. While it worked very well overall, I saw a few issues and didn’t really need its help.
It will be a bigger help here in Ethiopia where bandwidth is so limited. No need to be online to write a post, and because it looks just like the real thing, I can catch a few other types of mistakes before posting.
Live Writer was recently updated and I have been anxious to try it out. Here are 3 photos of my lovely assistant Claire (enjoying sugar cane) to help me test it.
Among the features I rememered in Live Writer are the built-in image tools. Effects like drops shadows etc, that were just more convenient to create right in a blogging application.
OK, I know they won’t look so great right next to each other here in my test, but this will speed up posting and might make posts prettier too, even when I dont have such and attractive model.
My wife wondered aloud why I posted three cute pictures of Claire, but the post was all about some “piece of software”. Well fair enough, I had just intended this as test post, and had planned to take it down – but then I thought no one really comes here for my witty prose, you are likely here just for the pictures.
