For all the bloggers out there, Microsoft has released Windows Live Writer Beta.
Windows Live Writer (WLW) is a desktop application that makes it easier to compose blog posts using Windows Live Spaces or your current blog service. WLW has a lot of features such as WYSIWYG Authoring, Photo Publishing, Map Publishing and Writer SDK. It is also compatible with other weblogs such as Blogger, Live Journal, Type Press, Wordpress and others.
From the blog:
WYSIWYG Authoring
You can now author your post and know exactly what it will look like before you publish it. Writer knows the styles of your blog such as headings, fonts, colors, background images, paragraph spacing, margins and block quotes and enables you to edit your post using these styles.
Photo Publishing
Writer makes inserting, customizing, and uploading photos to your blog a snap. You can insert a photo into your post by browsing image thumbnails through the “Insert Picture” dialog or by copying and pasting from a web page.
Map Publishing
The map can be customized directly within Writer - including changing the view to show road, aerial or bird’s eye detail and by adding pushpins (including custom links and/or photos for each pushpin).
Writer SDK
The Windows Live Writer SDK allows developers to extend the capabilities of Writer to publish additional content types. Examples of content types that can be added include:
- Images from online photo publishing sites
- Embedded video or audio players
- Product thumbnails and/or links from e-commerce sites
- Tags from tagging services
