Posted on September 6, 2007 at 9:57 am
Microsoft has officially released the Beta 3 or 2008 version of Windows Live Writer. This release not only has many new features, but also fixes a lot of bugs! The new version is much more responsive from what I’ve seen so far, so if you’ve been a little annoyed at the slow interface, you’ll be happy now!
Here are a couple of the new features included with Windows Live Writer 2008:
- You can now insert videos using the "Insert Video" dialog. This includes inserting from the web or inserting from SoapBox. Just copy and paste the embed text or the URL and it will automatically be inserted.
- Windows Live Writer can now publish images to your PicasaWeb account if you’re using posting on a Blogger blog. This is great for Blogger people, since there was no way to upload local pictures up to the Blogger servers.
- You can Justify align post text now, instead of just Left, Right, and Center.
- You now can Print your posts directly from Windows Live Writer just like you can print from Word or any other Office program.
- Writer now handles images better so they are not blurry like they used to be. Also, you can also use Writer in 28 additional languages.
Also released today are beta versions of MSN Messenger, Windows Mail, Windows Photo Gallery, Toolbar, and OneCare Family Safety. When installing the Windows Live Writer beta, you can add these other betas on if you like:
So go ahead and get the latest version! It’s definitely one of the best blog editors I have used!
