After all the issues I encountered with Typepad a few weeks ago when we were launching the Windows Web App Gallery and Web Platform Installer, I’ve been trying a couple different types of software to figure out what is reliable, scalable, and easy to post to. Right now I’m in the process of trying to salvage this current blog (Tumblr is looking quite nice if that doesn’t happen) so a few folks suggested trying Windows Live Writer.
So far very easy to use, no delays in formatting, and seems like there are quite a few options for inserting pictures and such (below is a pic from Web 2.0 Expo of Brian Goldfarb and myself, taken by Terry Chay who FINALLY remembered me after a few chance meetings. :) ).
I tend to be a bit ADD about my blog, so hopefully this will get my writing more frequently and having less pain while doing so. It also includes some cool funtionalities like maps, videos, tables, etc – that Typepad doesn’t.
So here’s the pic (note Brian is loving his “I <heart> Silverlight t-shirt like a CHAMP), and here’s also to another try at Typepad. Let’s see how this works… /LC
