Blogging from Windows Live Writer
I tried Word 2007's blogging option, and it didn't seem to want to work with our Community Server site -- not quite sure yet what the problem was. In my quest to get it to work, I ran across Windows Live Writer (in beta). It's part of the Windows Live agenda, but it appears to work and is far easier to use than the Web-based editor provided by the Community Server product. We'll see how it pans out, but in my first effort, it seems pretty smooth.
Of course, after a few moments' thought, I realized the real benefit here--offline blogging! Finally, an organized way to create blog posts when offline.
