Blogger pal Ricky Cadden turned me onto Microsoft Live Writer on my Netbook, an Asus 1000HE. Honestly, I never knew it was on the notebook size PC nor had I even heard of it.
Maybe its that I'm still a Mac user first, but given how much I surf and how in touch I am with the Microsoft product line I would have thought it would have been more well known.
Anyway, over the next few days, I'll put it through its paces. Ricky really likes it, and he's an acid tester type, as I am, so given his recommendation it gets a running start.
I hope you like it. I have 3+ blogs that I update, so the multiple blog support is *really* handy for me. When I use it on my Dell Mini 9, I tend to shut off wireless completely, which gives me less distractions and better battery life. Once I've written the posts, I can publish them as drafts and then login to finish editing them (some of my blogs have special forms that need to be filled out) or I can just click the publish. You can also send them to your blog as a scheduled post, if you use that. It's phenomenally handy, specifically if you're not covering news, but doing reviews/walkthroughs/editorials.
It's one of the few MS softwares that I've found to be better than any other option.
