I give it an A+

Well I’m just doing my part to pass on the love in the blogosphere!!!!

Well after several days of exploring the various features of Windows Live Writer I have decided that I really love it.

It has all the same editing tools as Microsoft WORD, you can change font size,

typeface,

change colors of the text,

strike through,

insert a link to a post and do all the other things that Blogger allows you to do only much easier.

Spell checker is great, it allows you to add words to the dictionary, unlike blogger.

It will remember inserted link, if you have a blogger pal that you link over to quite frequently, really cool function as you don't have to continually cut and past the links.

 

You can preview your post and it really looks like your post as it will appear in your blog.

 

You can add multiple pictures (more than 5 at a time like blogger or Picasa)

IMG_0010 IMG_0011 IMG_0013 IMG_0014  

 

Or add an entire album

You can crop,

IMG_0015

add a watermark

IMG_0016

tilt a photo, I am not sure I like the white space around the photo, but maybe there is a way to fix that and I just have not found it!!!

IMG_0015

 

change the borders on your pictures

It has all the labeling features as blogger and you can schedule an auto post, import multiple blogs, import past post for editing purposes. Save drafts for future post, either in Live Writer or post the draft to your blog and save it there, hmmm I think that is all for now but …

All in all so far I have really loved working with it.

I read the post, was impressed with all the variety of text and oooh the beautiful babee, sooo, I immediately clicked on the word that would take me to the Windows Live download (is that right?) and I downloaded it. Now I have it. I have no idea what I have, but I know I wanted it. Now I have to figure out how to use it when I post, like you did, so intelligently. Why am I so old before my time? Why?

I'm thinking I might have to dive in, too. Several bloggers have posted about it and make it sound like the next best thing to iced coffee :-) But I don't have the time to play with it right now so it might take me a couple of weeks. Thanks for reviewing it for us!

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
