How I Spent My Sacramento Real Estate Vacation
Bear with me, but I thought that title would allow me to let the interested robots know that no, I really haven’t abdicated my core topic, while at the same time setting the stage for me just hacking around on yet another blog authoring tool, Microsoft’s LiveWriter (Beta).
So far I like it better than Blogjet, though we’ve got the same no default category thing going on. (I suspect Wordpress doesn’t expose that).
On the plus side: Image handling is easy and intuitive — which Athol mentioned recently as a core feature of Blogjet. I would like to see something besides Margins / Inherit from Web Log, but what the heck — my marginless images give me more Web 1.0 cred.
Still on the plus side, single character mouse select! (I use that once every seven years, of course, but there it is). File Menu where the File menu should be, so Alt F is File and Alt-O is Format, the way God intended.
Surprised the heck out of me on the plus side: a Firefox “Blog This” Button. Looks like Microsoft is starting to get it.
Best feature of all is that (so far at least), this tool can be had for the same cost as Wordpress, so get it while it’s free!
