First post with Windows Live Writer. Figured it out, yay.

Ok, I figured it out. Now let’s see if this works too…

UPDATE: yep, it works. Man this Live Writer looks pretty neat.

Why I couldn’t get it to work originally with Movable Type: turns out in your profile you also need to set an API password, in addition to your regular password, specifically for these XMLRPC clients. Once I did that, all is fine and good.

The “insert map” is kinda neat. You can insert a map straight from Microsoft Virtual Earth. I am somewhere here currently … not. Removed the map because it was fux0red, showed complete darkness with one inch corresponding to 7000 miles. Guess it needs some tuning… but I like integrated concepts.

The blog says this already has plugins for Flickr and tons of other stuff… gotta check those out.

Now if I could only figure out the tags part and how it works with the Live Writer… gotta install MT 3.3 first with its “official” tags support.

More: the Live Writer produces pretty clean HTML. Too bad it can’t do Markdown which I’m using when editing myself… good news is that Markdown and HTML mix just fine.
