This is a test of using Windows Live Writer as a method of publishing an entry. Yesterday, I installed the Windows Live Toolbar and, frankly, this is the only piece of software which intrigues me in the least. Honestly, I don't think die hard computer enthusiasts are going to abandon Flickr, or Google Earth for the pale imitations that Windows Live offers. The options do integrate well though, and this might make things easier for an average, non-geeky, computer user. That doesn't describe me, I guess.This interface is very Vista-like and quite interesting with lots of potential tools and plug-in modules.
I'm mainly interested in this program as it will allow one to make draft entries when offline. This, potentially, could be useful during our upcoming trip to central Europe. I will most probably bring along my seemingly 26 lb. laptop, but I cannot be assured of universal, free wi-fi. During past extended trips, I've had to keep daily accounts with a word processor and later copy and paste into blogger.com after getting on the Internet. If I can use Writer to complete entries with photos, then it'll make documenting travels a hell of a lot easier.
