Windows Live Writer

I have started using Windows Live Mail.  It's a nifty product, but it has a great add-in call Windows Live Writer.  It's used for creating and editing Spaces blog posts, and it has additional functions not found in the Spaces editor.  It has modules, tables, links and images just like OLSB.  Also maps and videos.  You can add alt text to images and re-size photos without skewing them.  While it doesn't have a spell checker per se, it highlights misspelled words.  Knowing a word is misspelled is 90% of the battle.  It can also ping search engines whenever you make a change.  It would be terrific if the functionality of Writer could be incorporated into Office Live.  Maybe those guys down in the sub-basement could work on that.

Re: Windows Live Writer

Now that I know a little more about it, I would like to revise my suggestion regarding Windows Live Writer and OLSB.  The latest version separates it from Windows Live Mail so it now stands alone.  Instead of incorporating the functionality of WLW into OLSB, perhaps WLW could be extended to also create, edit and upload pages for OLSB as it does for Spaces blog postings.  Another option would be to create a separate Office Live Writer with similar capabilities.  As with WLW, OLW would be software that resides on the user's computer.  I have no idea about the technical requirements for such a product, but it would sure be terrific.
