Windows Live Writer Features

Sharing photos and video

Here are some of the ways that Writer makes sharing photos and video on your blog even easier than before:

Crop, Tilt and new Photo treatments

Starting with the basics, Writer now has native editing features for photos - like crop and tilt - in addition to improved border treatments. The alignment commands in the toolbar now work with images so it’s easy to select multiple photos and, for example, center-align them.

Photo Albums

It’s also much easier to insert multiple photos at once as either individual thumbnails or a Windows Live photo album.
Inserting a Windows Live photo album offers you several different album styles to display inside your post. When you publish your blog post, Writer will automatically upload a photo album to Windows Live and link the album in your post to the album on Windows Live. Here’s an example of photo album using the “Scatter” style:

Video

Now you can insert a video from your computer and have it automatically published to either YouTube or Soapbox when you publish your blog. Just like before, Writer will automatically embed an in-line video in your post and publish your video when you publish the post to your blog.

New plug-ins

There are MANY Writer plug-ins available for Download on Windows Live Gallery.
