Honestly, I’m likely not going to have a daily blog post stating that Lily hasn’t shown her face yet…but well, that is still the case.

Actually the reason for this post is that I am playing with the Windows Live Writer, a desktop application from Microsoft designed for managing and updating your weblog.  (Got this link via Lucky7)

I will have to play with it some, but it was very easy to set up.  After an install all it asked was the url of the site and the login and from there it automatically determined that I was using Wordpress and configured itself accordingly.  I have no issues with setting things up manually but I certainly understand that others may be a bit dumbstruck things like this.  I do have to give the developers credit in the User friendly department.

It is worth an extended look I think.  Sometimes the ease of a desktop application is a bit nicer that dealing with a web interface.  Don’t get me wrong, the Wordpress web interface is quite capable and overall, very good, certain things are just more efficient off web.
