magnum blog

Devo ammetterlo, ogni tanto anche i programmatori MS la indovinano: almeno così a prima vista il nuovo tool per la gestione dei spaces, cioè i blog “ala Microsoft”, sembra veramente fatto bene, e si adatta perfettamente all’utilizzo su altre piattaforme di blogging + diffuse (in realt� penso le supporti proprio tutte… proviamalo un po’ .

Cito qualche nota sul sito del programma stesso:

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. Our goal in creating Writer is to help make blogging more powerful, intuitive, and fun for everyone.

… e una piccola lista delle caratteristiche:

• WYSIWYG Authoring, The first thing to notice about Writer is that it enables true WYSIWYG blog authoring. You can now author your post and know exactly what it will look like before you publish it. Writer knows the styles of your blog such as headings, fonts, colors, background images, paragraph spacing, margins and block quotes and enables you to edit your post using these styles. 
• Photo Publishing, Writer makes inserting, customizing, and uploading photos to your blog a snap. You can insert a photo into your post by browsing image thumbnails through the “Insert Picture” dialog or by copying and pasting from a web page.
• Writer SDK
• Compatibility, Writer is a great client for Windows Live Spaces but also works with other weblogs including Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad, WordPress (and many others). Writer supports RSD (Really Simple Discoverability), the Metaweblog API, and the Movable Type API.
