Windows Live Writer is a desktop application that makes it easier to compose compelling blog posts using Windows Live Spaces or your current blog service. Blogging has turned the web into a two-way communications medium. Live Writer was created with the goal to help make blogging more powerful, intuitive, and fun for everyone. Writer has lots of features which we hope make for a better blogging experience. Some of the most exciting features includes WYSIWYG Authoring, Photo Publishing, Map Publishing etc.

Well! In case if you don't have a blog at the moment we strongly recommend that you start one. Not because everybody is doing it because you also have a story tell the world. If you don't have one you are not living ... There are many free blog service providers on the web. Windows Live Spaces, Blogger, BlogSpot, are few.

If you are interested in having your own blog in the .NET Forum, following how you can configure Windows Live Writer to publish into it. Please feel free to contact admin@dotnetforum.lk for more details and support on getting your own blog activated on the forum.

Happy Blogging!

Install the latest version of the list writer through http://downloads.live.com. If you already have it installed proceed to the next step. If it is a fresh installation when you open the Writer after installing it will automatically bring you to the new account configuration wizard. In this demo case i already have my Live Spaces Blog configured with Writer and I'm going to add my .NET forum blog also into the accounts list. This is another fantastic feature in Writer, which allows you to maintain blogging to multiple places in a very convenient manner. Tools > Accounts. Click the Add button on the options windows to open the wizard.

Select Other Blog Service option from the list of options given. If you wish configure any other blog into Writer please select accordingly and proceed. If you don’t have a blog at the moment, please feel free contact admin@dotnetforum.lk to get your blog created. Only prerequisite for this is that you must be a .NET Forum member. Click Next
