Offline Blogging With Windows Live Writer


Windows live writer

Yes! you can blog offline. With growing technology like Windows Live Writer blogging is no more limited to your dashboard. You can write, save and publish posts right from your computer without signing in your blogger account. Blogger HTML editor lacks many features when it comes to writing a good looking post. On contrary windows live writer is a software built by Microsoft Corporation which contains every feature that Blogger lacks.

I hate blogging without Windows Live Writer! I am sure many bloggers would agree with me on this point.

 

 

Some of the things you can’t do with Blogger HTML editor are,

  • You can not write HTML code just the way it looks in blogger editor because the code is interpreted as a command and blogger editor converts it to how it may look in a browser.
  • You can’t resize an image to whatever size you like because you are provided with only three options i.e Small, Medium and Large size.
  • The font type and font size is limited.
  • You can not undo what you have done (Going backward).
  • You can’t align images to the left or right of your intro paragraph.
  • You can not add effects to your images, like shadow effect, rounded corners, emboss, blur etc.
  • You can not post an image in its original size
  • You can not insert tables in your posts because no table option exists
  • You can not open a link in a new window unless you edit the HTML
  • You can not add a world map to your posts
  • And much more……………

You can not do all above in a compose mode unless you add or change the HTML code in your HTML editor. But editing HTML would seem difficult for a newbie whilst pretty easy for a professional. Since most people like me have limited knowledge about editing HTML, blogger editor is of little use to all of us. Luckily! Windows Live Writer comes to our rescue. It can to do what ever blogger editor can not. It contains every feature a blogger is looking for. One of the best things I like about it is that it saves a copy of your blog interface/theme and when you write posts, it will be just like writing a post straight into your blog. See the image below to understand what I mean to say,

Moreover your images can be displayed in two different ways look below,

Roshan Ashraf Shaikh on Dec 23, 2010, 9:27:00 PM said... #

Salaam. I appreciate the effort of telling me about that thing with content slider.

I have one more issue and I was wondering if you have any solution. Is it possible to split long posts in blogger into pages?

Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzai on Dec 24, 2010, 3:21:00 AM said... #

@Shaikh

W.salam brother :)

Kindly elaborate your question. I believe if you saying that can we convert post to blogger pages then I am afraid we don't see any possibility so far however you can try the conventional of manually doing it if the post is not high Pr ranked.. hope you find it helpful.

Hello,

I used to use WLW a few years ago, but the image file size was a lot bigger than when I used the blogger editor and taking up so much more of my allotted space Google gives you. To get around that, I'd upload the image to picasa (which is where they all go) and do a right click copy image url, etc. and put in the image that way- this is all after I've used PSP7 to reduce the size.

I noticed all this because I always use PSP7 to reduce the size of my images, but after inserting the image with WLW it would be much bigger- I asked around on the groups or forums, but I can't remember what they told me.

So my question is, is this still an issue?

Thanks,

Tessa

This is great information. I have several blogs, and I try to post every day, but it is not always possible. When I get home from work, there are so many distractions. But I am in outside sales and do have some time in my car between appointments. But I have never considered offline blogging. I am excited to use windows live writer. Great Tip. Thanks so much
