I’m so excited about this that I wanted to show you some screenshots! None of these are hosted by the way. They’re embedded. I’m using SnagIt. Can someone try it out & see if it will embed screenshots by other ways? And I just added a photo (because I wanted to try it) - MAN! this is the easiest way to add images to a blog post!
You can manage multiple blogs!
And put text wrapping on the left or right of the image.
There is a pane on the right that offers all the options (much like ACDSee Photo Manager). And it changes depending on what you’re doing. Pasting in an image gives other options. This is the main one.
These are the image properties to choose from:
Text wrapping
- Inline (the only option I had in Wordpress)
- Left (great to be able to text & not just have wasted space!)
- Right (good for certain situations like now maybe?)
Under borders - there’s an option for photo paper. I put it on the photo below. Kind of cool, eh? (I was playing with the macro on my camera - it’s a hydrangea if you’re wondering.)
This is the Open screen. It allows access to all drafts and online blog posts for editing. Slick, eh?
The FUNKIEST thing is that you can preview the post in Live Writer without publishing it. And it looks like the real thing! but it’s not published yet. Check it out! See the little blue shapes in the corners? That must indicate that it’s not live yet.
So give it a try, I think you’ll MORE than really like it!
Edited - So I just adjusted a couple of the images because our blog is fluid & I see that each image has a URL with a Wordpress address… hmmm, I always like know why! I wonder how they’re doing this? Maybe they’re hosting the image on Wordpress somehow? Does anyone know? Heidi - do you have any ideas?

I thought I read you say that there was a limit of 500 posts in the Writer.
I wrote them..I’d like an option to delete posts from the Writer without actually deleting them from the blog. For instance, one post I have changed on the blog through blogger, so the latest version is no longer in the Writer. Just another small tweak problem. I wonder if the database for the entire Writer can be deleted and start new? I will have to play.
I am still working on Fotki’s http://ftp. I am awaiting their response and hope to be able to upload that way. Also, did you know that unless you upload through the ftp, you cannot have the drop shadow features? It does not work if you already host it somewhere. Bummer!
I am LOVING this program! I love how I can work on posts without being online, you never know when you won’t have access and then can’t work! And I love finally being able to edit the font size and color, and easily edit the whole thing… the wordpress editor was terrible for moving things around on me after I hit publish! Thanks for bringing this program to my attention ladies! You rock!
I’m glad that people like it! But it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t work with Blogger, Hummie. I saw the reason today.
