Not wanting to sound like a shill for myself, but I’ve got a WordPress plugin that will allow you to customise the side blog panel in live writer: http://blog.slaven.net.au/archives/2007/06/05/windows-live-writer-wordpress-plugin/

Very beta, but I thing there is some serious potential to do some cool things with the custom buttons that can display content from a remote site.

Tris
it really, really is a brilliant app. The only thing missing is clip-board editing support like Blogdesk has, it’s not a major issue for me these days as I’ve got Photoshop open all the time, but it would be nice to be able to edit screenshots within Live Writer.

Des, so far, so good from me. Shame it’s only a blog post tool, I wouldn’t have mind using it as a word processor as well

I’ve used the new Live Writer now, with some trepidation having also “experienced” the previous version. I’m impressed. Seemed to work seamlessly on two different WordPress blogs and a BlogHarbor one.

I am looking into various old hacks for UTW support but it does look quite reasonable.

What they really need is built in trackback (sending) support for platforms that don’t have it as default, such as Blogger.

Windows Live Writer beta 2 is out…

You can download it here. Very nice, very clean, the Live branding is obvious & I think I like it. The ability to embed an image from a URL & not just a local image that needs uploading in great, and you can now select multiple…

Man have you had a worse experience with Vista than I have! Odd that you can’t get BlogDesk to work, I had no problems with it under Vista. That said, I think LW 2 is a fantastic app. I had been using the previous ones for a while, tried BlogDesk for a while (knowing it was your fav), but really missed the Blog this… buttons.

Regardless, I think the LW team is really serious about making a great app. They e-mailed me after my post, okay maybe because they wondered why someone who worked for Qumana would rave about their app (cause I’m not with Qumana anymore).
