I have recently discovered that Windows Live Writer is a really rather good tool for editing your blog. As well as Windows Live Spaces it also supports other popular tools including SharePoint, WordPress and Blogger. Predictably I’m using it for this post after spending all of ten minutes installing and configuring it. If offline editing is on your wish list then this is well worth a try.
I’ve been trying to set this up today but I can’t seem to figure out how to configure it on my site using wordpress on bluehost.com. Is there any chance you could be of some help to me?
I’ll certainly try…
In Windows Live Writer (WLW), Go to Tools -> Accounts -> Add…
Select ‘Another weblog Service’, enter the URL that you use to access your blog (‘http://yourblog.com’) and your WordPress username and password.
The ‘Detecting Weblog Settings’ dialogue should appear, when this completes you are prompted for a short name for the account, enter this and press ‘Finish’.
Done. You can now use WLW to put together your posts and pages, get blogging!
Hope this helps…
