Windows Live Writer

Posted on April 22, 2008 at 10:02 am by jasonlee

So I have been using Live writer on both my desktop and laptop for several weeks since the Spring RoundTable .  For the most part I have been very pleased with the application, especially the ability to work on posts when I can’t connect to the Wordpress interface.

I do wish it worked like OneNote where I could synchronize the offline notebooks to both computers but I am learning to deal with that.  If you know of a way… please teach me.

One thing I just can’t figure out is why MS would deploy Live Writer with auto save not enabled?  This only dawned on me after I had been working on a rather lengthy post and my computer decided to take a dirt nap.  Well maybe dirt nap is a little harsh, but after rebooting the frozen box all my edits to my post GONE.  So learn from my pain Tools>Options>Preferences>Check the little box “Automatically save drafts every X”.
