I’ve just installed Live Writer

livewriter1 

Not sure what the point is but I’ll try anything once. First impression is that  it gives a more familiar Windows feel to the editing process. What value that will have to a seasoned blogger who has already gotten used to another interface isn’t very apparent. I can see a benefit if you are writing to multiple blogs with different interfaces though as then you only have one set of menus to learn your way around.

I see it allows for mutliple blog accounts, but I must try to find out how many. I had a bit of a problem with the full version of Outlook. When I got up to about 14 email accounts it wasn’t happy and became really sluggish during send and receive – then the error messages started so I thought bugger this for a game of soldiers and switched to emClient.
