I'm writing this from Windows Live Writer since the Technical Refresh of Beta 2 of Word 2007 doesn't seem to work with Blogger Beta (although it works perfectly with Spaces). It just spews out this misspelled error message (sic):
Word cannot egister your account. The provider where you are trying to publish is unavailable. Contact your provider for assistance.
However, I googled the problem but couldn't find similar symptoms experienced by anyone else. Maybe the RTM version won't have the problem.. atleast not the spelling mistake.
Anyway, Windows Live Writer is not bad at all.. the Web Preview and Web Layout views come in real handy when you want to know how a post looks from a visitor's point of view effectively removing the post-edit-repost iterations that typically occur when aligning pictures and stuff..
The fact that it works with almost any blogging platform, not only Microsoft's Spaces, with almost no caveats, is surprising considering that both products (Spaces and Writer) are under the Windows Live brand.
Anyway, I'm switching to Windows Live Writer for my future blog posts.. atleast until someone comes up with something better.
Edit: Oh crap.. I can't label my posts through Writer.. now what?! *Sigh*.. Back to the Blogger editor..
