LiveWriter - Part 2
Well it seems that trying to publish the images over xml-rpc comes up with this error message:
It seems that it didn't like posting the images. So if you change LiveWriter to upload the images via FTP, that error message goes away. After hitting publish it comes up with another error,

Live Writer
Well it seems that live writer is working how it should. It's a very easy to use application. Yes, something new for MS. Although, after hitting publish on the previous post it did return an error message telling me that it hadn't posted the blog entry. Something I did find amusing after checking it had.
So a couple of screen shots,

The add plugin takes you to this website that lets you download additional plugin's for your LiveWriter software. I've yet to find a plugin I find useful. I do however like the link called "Insert Map..."

The menu bar is the usual sort of MS thing. 
This software has made life slightly easier for posting blogs, it has inbuilt spell checker. Something I missed sorely in the web typing. It also lets you save as you go along, so no more typing out a huge blog, hitting submit, and losing the whole dam thing.
It's also made it easier for letting staff add content to our internal blog at work. They no longer get lost with all of the menus. With this they type, spell check, add pictures and then hit publish.
