Windows Live Writer
WYSIWYG Authoring
The first thing to notice about Writer is that it enables true WYSIWYG blog authoring. You can now author your post and know exactly what it will look like before you publish it. Writer knows the styles of your blog such as headings, fonts, colors, background images, paragraph spacing, margins and block quotes and enables you to edit your post using these styles.
Writer also includes other views including HTML source-code editing and web preview mode.
Now you don’t have to waste time going through the process of publishing, refreshing, previewing, and tweaking your post to get it looking the way you want. It’s all right there in Writer as you create your post.
所见既所得编辑方式
关于Writer这个软件最值得关注的就是它能真正实现所见即所得的blog编辑方式。现在你就能在发布你的blog前，清楚的知道它将会是什么模样了。Writer能获取你blog的各种样式，例如：标题，字体，颜色，背景图片，缩进……并能在编辑时使用这些样式。
Writer也包含了HTML源码编辑模式和WEB预览模式。
现在你不必把时间浪费在发布的过程上了，不断的刷新，预览，修改，只为了让你的blog看起来像是你要的那样。你的blog会和你在Writer里看到的一样。
Photo Publishing
Writer makes inserting, customizing, and uploading photos to your blog a snap. You can insert a photo into your post by browsing image thumbnails through the “Insert Picture” dialog or by copying and pasting from a web page.
Once you’ve inserted the picture, Writer provides contextual editing tools to modify size, text wrapping, borders, and apply graphic effects. Writer also allows you specify a smaller thumbnail to that will link to a larger image for detailed viewing.
Photos can be either uploaded directly to your weblog provider (if they support the newMediaObject API) or to an FTP server.
图片发布
Writer能插入、改变大小、并将图片上传到你的blog。你能使用“插入图片”对话框在本地选择图片插入，或CTRL+C网页上的图片，然后CTRL+V。
当你把图片插入后，Writer提供一系列工具：重定义大小、文字环绕、边框、图片特效。Writer也支持通过缩略图链接到一张大的图片。
图片可以上传到你的blog里，也能上传到ftp里。
Map Publishing
Whether you are blogging about a vacation or a political conflict, maps are a great help in engaging the imagination of your readers. You can do this using Writer’s ability to insert a Windows Live Local map directly into a post.
Even better is that the map can be customized directly within Writer – including changing the view to show road, aerial or bird’s eye detail and by adding pushpins (including custom links and/or photos for each pushpin).
When readers click on the map they get a larger view on the Windows Live Local site.
地图发布
当你在写一篇关于假期或，地图能很好的帮助增进读者的想象力。你能使用Writer的直接插入“Windows Live Local”地图。
当读者点击此地图时，会链接到Windows Live Local的主站上。
