Posting from the Belly of the Beast

Been poking around (as previously discussed) with desktop blog clients.  My old standby, SharpMT, has essentially shut down.  W.bloggar is more powerful than ever, but I've grown fond of WYSIWYG writing, and it only supports 12 snippets/tags/blocks.

So one tool I've often heard highly touted is Windows Live Writer.  Yes, working with the Evil Empire itself -- or with its tools.

I will say that:

a.  The interface is pretty.

b.  There is a healthy number of plugins to play with.

I'm not sold yet, but I like what I see so far.

More later.

Quoth Randy ...

It didn't shut down - it went open source :) http://www.codeplex.com/sharpmt

Quoth *** Dave ...

You're correct -- I was using short-hand. Since going to Codeplex, I don't see (alas) any changes or updates or work on it by anyone else.

No complaints -- heaven knows I have plenty of projects I've worked on and then left behind for one reason or another. Putting it out to open source is a fine move.
