I have a lot of Internet friends that tell me that I should be using a program like Live Writer to create my blogs posts. Now, I have been creating all my blog posts with the WordPress interface, and I have become really comfortable with that, bugs and all. So, I am having a hard time understanding the point of using a program like Live Writer, but I had a hard time understand the point of using Twitter also, and now I send Tweets all the time.
This post was created with Live Writer and over the next few days, weeks, possibly months, I’ll be experimenting with it to see if there is something about this that I am missing.

Well, that is one thing I like. I can pull pics right off of Flickr and paste them in the post, without saving them to my computer. Of course, when I use Photoshop to add some text, I’ll have to save it but that is still a nice feature.
For any other bloggers who read this and are interested in trying this experiment with me, you can download Live Writer for free here.
Also, you can make turn Live Writer into a portable app. Here’s how.
