I’ve finally found a way to bring together my two favourite technologies:
- Tablet PCs and
- WordPress.
At last, my two great passions have been joined by a great new tool from Microsoft. Microsoft for WordPress? Yes, you heard me!
The team at Windows Live have developed a tool called Windows Live Writer that allows you to publish to your blog easily from your Tablet PC (notebook or desktop too). It works with:
- WordPress
- Blogger
- TypePad
- Moveable Type
- and Windows Live Spaces.
There are some pretty cool features in Windows Live Writer. It handles images really well and allows you to easily resize, edit, add drop shadows and effects.
You can write your blog as would see it online. You can also directly edit the HTML and it didn’t mess with my code.
If you write for more than one blog, the blog management tools are especially handy.
Windows Live Writer has its own plug-in system that allows you to extend your blogging even further.
If you have a Tablet PC you’ll want to get hold of the Ink Blog plug-in.

Very cool!
