With Windows Live Writer, the company is aiming to make the process of composing, updating and maintaining a blog much easier for non-technical users than it has been to date, the company said in a post on the developer team?s blog.
"Windows Live Writer is a desktop application that makes it easier to compose compelling blog posts using Windows Live Spaces or your current blog service," said J.J. Allaire in the post.
The idea is to enable users to easily compose blog pages using a WYSIWYG interface that looks a lot like Microsoft Word. It also aims to make it easy to add elements like photos, maps, music and movies. For instance, a blogger could provide a map with a blog entry that draws data from Windows Live Local maps.
