Windows Live Writer

I am always one to try something new and to be as up to date as possible in the computing world. I don’t necessarily have the biggest and best hardware but I like my software to be up to date.

I run Office 2007, I have just upgraded Smart Draw to version 2009, I have reinstalled Dreamweaver and yesterday I installed Acrobat Reader version 9. Just a few examples of my software world.

Here’s another example: I have just installed Windows Live Writer (Beta) and this message is coming to you, together with the following photo and table, courtesy of WLW. Let’s see if it’s any good. I am not going to stress the system, just testing as uploading photos to this Blog is a bit of a faff: not difficult but a faff.

I like this photo of some arch ways to be found in the Forbidden City: I call it Cloisters.

WLW also claims to be able to include tables in a posting so let’s try that too:

Destination	Duration
Geneva	6 days
Beijing	9 days

There you are and if I can shrink it down enough, I am going to upload a video of yours truly walking around a part of Beijing. The title includes the phrase Hapless Tyke, so that gives you a clue of the flavour of the film.
