I’ve written about Live Writer a couple of times: Article 1, Article 2. It is a free program downloadable from Microsoft, and the exceptional feature is that it resides locally on your computer and it will upload your blog posts to several different blogging systems. I now use it almost exclusively for all my blog posts – both Blogger and WordPress. I’m using it to create this post on RV.net’s blog and I use it to create blog posts for my personal blog on Blogger.
It’s single-click easy to add a map to your blog post using Live Writer. I especially like the plugin that links directly to my Picasa Web Album for photos. I also like that it reminds me to add labels or categories to each post. To understand the importance of labels and categories, see last week’s post.
Let me show you exactly what I’m talking about:
