We’re working with new software to learn how to make computer use easier for our clients. Tonight – it’s Windows Live Writer – a software that connects to your existing blog web site and allows you to create the pages off line in a “Word” type program.
I think the program has a lot to offer. Within just a few seconds of my typing – the software program was already hard at work, correcting my misspellings.
The program allows me to add video:
The above video is an example video that comes with Windows 7. I have placed it here to show how easy it was. I had many options of ‘where’ to get the video I wanted to add – from. I found the layout very simple and easy to use.
Here is how easy it was to add a hyperlink (aka – a web site link) www.sscomputertutor.com or www.blackgle.net – just write it and it instantly becomes html.
To add a photo album:
Adding to the album only took a little reading but it was very easy to do and i like the way it lays the photos out on the screen in the middle of the blog – nice.
Now let’s format the text and check the other tools: - changing the text color was easy – changing the text style was the same very OLD Microsoft font dialog box. I find that disappointing because the software has a lot of potential but it should offer drop down menus for the font options.
| sample 1 | sample 3 |
| this is and example | so is this over here – added a table to the blog with one click! |
| using tab makes another new cell in the table | You have to use your mouse to get back outside of the table. |
This is a follow up to the above post! Want to let you know I am using the software now to write all of my Blogs and I find it very simple, useful and best of all... I am pretty sure it was FREE!
