I’ve been posting to this blog on Google’s Blogger since 2008 using Windows Live Writer. However, as many of you probably know, new technologies & versions have made it impossible for the 2012 Live Writer to ever interface again with Blogger’s latest technology. For the past few posts, I’ve used Live Writer off-line to create my posts, then copy & paste it directly into Blogger while on-line. I insert photos directly on-line also. It worked. . .but wasn’t nearly as convenient as just hitting Publish from inside Live Writer.
Enter the guys on white horses. The new & updated version is called Open Live Writer & is working as well or better than the old Live Writer. You can download the free program & read on this page about the open source concept that created this program.
I started working with computers in 1988 & was always a fan & supporter of Miscrosoft Office programs. However, since being retired (with less disposable income & no office), I became a fan of Open Office. It’s also open source & free with all the bells & whistles I ever needed with MS Office. It will read & write to all the same types of files. These open source programers are like the white hat hackers because they enjoy the challenge of making a good program without all the profit-driven drama.
So, anyway, this is a great start to another c-o-l-d morning in Quartzsite AZ (26° outside my cozy abode).
Hey. Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteBeen working on creating a new Winter in Desert all day....looks like you have been using the cold weather to good advantage. Hope I can figure it out!!
You could probably start a micro business helping others with their blogs.
After my last post I received some notes on the Open Live writer. So glad those guys got together to keep a good thing going. Just used it, and it worked great. See Ya...jc
