I had a "to-do" to upgrade my SharpMT to version 3.3, so I went to the site to grab the download. While I was there, I read a post from Randy on Windows Live Writer, so I decided to download it as well and give it a try.
The WYSIWYG editing mode is pretty cool. So are some of the formatting features like
Bold Italic Underline Strikethrough Color
Right
Center
and Left alignment
- Numbered
- Lists
- Bulleted
- Lists
And Block Quotes
It also appears to have good support for inserting pictures and Windows Live Maps.
What doesn't it have?
Support for tables... wait
I wandered over to the Windows Live Gallery and guess what I found
| A | Table |
| Plug-in | ! |
, or support for the extended entry feature of MT.
That last omission is most likely a deal killer for me, so I'll probably continue to stick with SharpMT.
Well...
I just browsed some more of the plug-ins, and there are some really cool ones including
Display HTML code for example: <a href="http://www.blogdom.org">Blogdom</a>
Insert symbols like ° or ½
And I don't know when I'd really use it, but insert Live Spaces emoticons like 
or 
So, maybe I'll play with this a bit more...
