My first look at WLW for Win7

I thought it would be nice to have access to all the blogs I help to run.

Such as this one you are reading now and as well as these:

  • Edenlancer Stories
  • TJ’s Books
  • Road Rallies

Seems to work great with my WordPress blogs (which is my preferred CMS blog engine)

It seems WLW might just fit the bill. Especially with its built in spell checking as you. Which I for one desperately needs. Before I fully endorse it to my other blogger friends I will test it for a few days. But so far I have to say, I love it. Especially with these nifty little features:

  • Spell Check as You Go
  • Plug-ins galore
  • Ability to write first, publish later
  • Picks up on your blogs theme, makes it easier to work
  • Preview your post before publish
  • Setup as many blogs as you like and switch quickly between them
  • Seems to work great with my WordPress blogs (which is my preferred CMS blog engine)

I am sure there are many more features I will discover as I go forward. WLW is part of Windows Live which is a free download from Microsoft.
