I never was happy with the picture loading process that Blogger used. I love the ease of transitioning to preview and source mode on it. I love being able to use different fonts in the body without having to go into the design section of Blogger. When Blogger updated, it incorporated some of these features, but I would still NEVER go back to using it. I got my new Windows 7 computer 6 weeks ago and found that only the newer version of Writer would download. I just had to get used to its new features- it was an easy adjustment. I don't know how Kathleen has windows xp but can use the newer Writer. I couldn't get that version to download w/windows 7. Glad you found Writer! hugs, SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843513751203663201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-56056266001140734972011-05-09T10:33:41.884-07:002011-05-09T10:33:41.884-07:00I wrote a post on Windows Live Writer myself this ...I wrote a post on Windows Live Writer myself this week having just discovered it.

I like the font choices, and the ease of pictures. Although the new version isn't quite as nice - especially when wanting to put a series of pictures in. I'm still looking for a nice, easy photo program that will let me create mosaics - and I'd love to add comments/titles to photos at times.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06079854415508985725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-27857994042810013832011-05-09T03:26:15.588-07:002011-05-09T03:26:15.588-07:00Interesting post!

I am not technically savvy so for me it was just one more thing to learn. Just didn't want to take the time I suppose. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I am not techie at all, and I had no problem downloading and found it all very easy.<br />The only problem I have is that the new edition does not allow me to add links because I have XP. I have to go back to Blogger and add them, which is annoying.<br />When I first started with Live Writer I was able to do it, but then they updated! :(<br />I love the ease of the pictures.<br />Hope you had a great Mother's Day. We just got back, it was very nice and I didn't have to do anything except drive an hour there and then back!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323768335143979148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-17132914469506621812011-05-08T16:14:14.605-07:002011-05-08T16:14:14.605-07:00Hi Lori: Happy Mother's Day.

Now I just stick to the default. I find the program really easy to use.

I've used both old and new versions and absolutely love it. I am not really computer savvy, but I do well with WLW.

Oh right. It is kind of hard to install, I had done it so long ago I forgot the steps.<br /><br />I will admit that I loved the old version much more then I do love the new version of WLW.<br /><br />But...that said, I still love it. It gets better with each use, I don't have to think now when I write, I just write my blog post.<br /><br />I love that my blog previews exactly like the page will look, which is something I couldn't do before. I love that there are gazillions of fonts available to me now, when Blogger has only a few. I love that the photos are easy to put in, and the text is easy to change fonts.<br /><br />How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...<br /><br />So there, now you know, I love WLW.<br /><br />And I really hope that you end up liking it a lot too.<br /><br />As you can tell, I kind of like it.<br /><br />And I had so many problems with Blogger before, now they have all gone up in a poof of smoke.<br /><br />Jen @ Muddy Boot Dreams<br /><br />PS got distracted a few times, found that NO Word Verification on this blog button.
