Trying Something New

I just found Windows Live Writer on my computer.  Okay, I don’t spend a lot of time on my computer for a self-proclaimed techie/geek.  So this is really just a test to see how well it works.

I entered the url of my blog and my credentials. Live Writer downloaded the theme and the blog. I’m going to see how it handles the upload in just a minute.

What makes this so much more useable for me is that I can write a blog whether or not I’m connected to the internet. See, I don’t always have “the cloud” available to me. My host is 1&1, and the blog was really easy to set up there. The price was right for my first blogging attempt, and their services are non-invasive, which is important to me.  But since I never got serious about the effort, I never learned Word Press or any other blogging tools, so I’ve always just stuck with writing online. I like this. I really like this.
I’m going to insert a picture that will have zero relevance to anything I write here, just to see how Live Writer handles it.

This is one of those blog posts that doesn’t mean anything to anyone but me. But now that I can do this anywhere, I intend to.

Is this program included with or available for Windows 7? I sure hope so!
