I’ve been working with Windows Live Writer today and I really like what I see!

I’ve previously been writing a number of blog articles with Performancing 1.3. Performancing has been having some difficulties connecting to blogger since about August, and I thought I’d try Windows Live Writer today.

I had a misconception about Windows Live Writers. I originally thought that it would only work with Microsoft’s own blog sites, but I read up on it finally today and realized that it supports multiple blogging formats. It uses a system where it reads the template of a blog, such that when an author composes an article they can see the result in a format very similar to what it will look like when its ultimate published.

So all in all, I’ve written about 3 articles and I’m impressed. I could not setup all of my blogger blogs at once, however, I can set them up as additional blogs one at a time. I accidentally published an article to the wrong blog on purpose, and was pleasantly surprised when I published the same article again to the correct blog. Then I manually logged into blogger and deleted the incorrect posting.

I also loaded up a Tag tool that allows me to insert tags rapidly with Live Writer. Performancing’s tool probably worked easier. However, Live Writer offers more services from Technorati to Del.icio.us to Flickr, Buzznet, LiveJournal and a few more. Plus I can insert tags for more than one service per article.

The picture loading support works very well. All in all, I like what I get out of the package!

Where’s my printer cable?  Where’s my report?  Why is there jelly on my monitor?  Who let the ferret out of its cage?  Why is there water running across the floor past your work station?  Ergonomics, in my home office?  Yeah Right!

There are many things that can make a home office feel like hell.  Maybe its poor planning, a low budget, too little space, bad lighting, too much noise, or bad tech support (tech support can always be blamed for something!)

Well if you’ve got a home office from hell, maybe you should consider submitting it to The Home Office From Hell contest.  If you win, you could win 12 months free rent, a new computer, even a trip to New York City to have lunch with George Ross from The Apprentice.

Now, this contest is sponsored by Offices2Share.com and they specialize in putting companies and people together with landlords looking to fill office space. 

I’ve covered them before as they offer some great services in the way of temporary office space and virtual office space as well. They even offer a service that can put you into a meeting room for an hour a day or a week, which can be very useful if you are trying to connect for a meeting with someone in a city away from your home office, or even if you don’t want to bring a client home to your home office for a meeting!
