What is Man?

So I’m experimenting with Windows Live Writer as a manager for this blog. It’s part of the Windows Live suit, which includes Live Mail, Messenger, Photo Gallery, and a toolbar for access (get.live.com). I don’t really have a use for the rest of those, I already have Outlook for email,  Pidgen for text messaging, and Picasa for photo organization, and I’m not big on toolbar clutter.

But Live Writer is pretty nifty. I’m still experimenting with it, sticking some plugins into the program, etc. My biggest need right now is for flash implementation, since sermons.albanygospelchapel.com used imbedded flash audio in every post. My work-around is a plugin called “Text Template” that allows me to dump in saved snippets of html and javascript.

So far live writing is working out well, and it’s a HUGE improvement over the built in editor that comes with the
Wordpress suit.
