Microsoft yesterday announced the release in beta 2 of Live Writer. We reviewed Live Writer beta 1 in episode 36 and have been using it ever since. Live Writer is a desktop client that allows you to compose your blog locally and then publish to the web when you are ready. Beta 2 is supposed to be more stable with more extensions. New features include inline spell check, table editing, categorization, special extensions for WordPress and TypePad, improved linking and image insertion, and paste special operations similar to other Microsoft products. We will be reviewing it soon, but unless something has gone horribly wrong it is a winner. Click here to download.
