Windows Live Writer Review – Posting into WordPress.com (Part 2 – Configuration)

2006 August 14
by Mohasin

This is in continuation to Part 1 of the WLW review. The installation steps have been explained in the previous post. This post is going to run you through the configuration requried to step up your blog account in Windows Live Writer (in this example, I would be setting up my wordpress account). I would also be showing an sample of editing and post a blog into my blog site.

As I had mentioned in my earlier post, the review below is more like a photo and I would be posting comments against each of the screenshots in the following day(s).

Configuration of your weblog:

I could not find any desktop icon created for WLW. In order to launch your windows live writer, click on Start=>Programs=>Windows Live Writer (Beta). This should launch your Windows Live Writer. Before we go ahead with the configuration of WLW, I would like to mention about Onfolio which is sidebar tool which gets added to your Internet Explorer. Onfolio lets you copy contents from the pages you are browsing and lets you blog them. It also has a feed reader. Read more about Onfolio here.

Lauch the Windows Live Writer

If this is the first time you are launching WLW, then a wizard appears to guide you through the configuration.

Do you want to create a Windows Live Spaces account ?

You can create the Windows Live Spaces right here, if you don’t have one. But if you already have an Windows Live account or if you would like to configure your blog service (in our case, wordpress.com), then click next.

Choose another blog service option to configure

Since I would like to configure my blog http://mohasin.wordpress.com, I am selecting “Another weblog service” and clicking next.

Enter your wordpress home page login details

Now enter the weblog URL, the user name and password that I normally use for logging into this account.
Select the weblog provider from the list.

List of blog providers

List of blog providers - continued

Now select the service provider from the list. In our case, we would be selecting WordPress.com. As you could see, WLW seems to be supporting most of the famous blogging services. Now this a really nice move from Microsoft folks to make the tool popular.

Selecting wordpress.com from the list

The Remote posting URL for your weblog should be shown properly. You need not edit anything except for the name of your blog. In my case, I had to enter mohasin before .wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

Select your blog from the list of blogs available in your account.

Now the next screen should list out all the multiple blogs that one holds in his account. In my case, I had two accounts which are displayed in the above screenshot.

Applying the settings and fetching the details from the provider

Select the account which you would like to setup and click next. Not to worry, you can setup your other blogs under your account after launching the WLW.

Weblog configuration complete

The configuration is now done and on click Finish, the WLW will be launched.

The editior options and the creation, editing and posting of the new post on to this blog is explained in Part 3.

    I have installed and used Live Writer on my WordPress installation. It works beautifully, but has created huge problems for me. As it turns out, the program for some reason uses ISO code representation of characters instead of “standard” HTML.

    That is, ” is represented as « (ISO Latin-1) instead of " (HTML). And so on, for all the extended characters.

    So why is this a huge problem: Because in WordPress plugins like “Sensitive Tag Clouds” and the like assume standard HTML. And WordPress 2.3 tags are generated on the assumtion as well. So my WordPress installation generates tags that include these odd ISO numbers into my Google sitemap. But when that page comes up in a search, and the users wants to open my page, the page can not be found, and generates a 404-error.

    So I am losing a lot of traffic due to this program. As far as I can see, this is not at all documented, and you can only see the representation when you switch from normal to HTML view in Live Writer.

    The solution is to write the text directly into the HTML-view instead of using the ordinary views. Then the characters will be correctly represented in WordPress.

    So for me this has meant: (a) I have stopped using Live Writer, and (b) I have had to go back and correct all the post I had written using it before I detected the problem.

    Be warned! This is not a good program to use with WordPress installations!

    Hmm. Trying to do the same using : ” is represented as « instead of «

    I was trying to use to show the actual HTML. Didn't work. Sry

    Recently, my husband started with the potential problem and our relations are deadlocked.
    After all, I love sex … I encouraged him to go to the doctor, and he is afraid.
    Maybe someone who will help us, tell of impotence pills and where to buy them anonymously. In advance thank you to all who help!
    Sorry if in the wrong section leave a message!

    Exterminating vermins can help our own gene pool survival:
    - Don’t hire thieves
    - Promote death penalty for burglar and robbers
    - Legalize all consensual sex
    - Legalize porn so all can see the “current” industry standard
    - Beware of ugly bitch that opposes porn, they are dangerous
    - Legalize drugs
    - Anyone opposing globalization are racist bigot
    - Those who prohibits freedom are facists that want to enslave others
    - Tax is slavery
    - Those who want to punish consensual victimless acts are bigots
    - If those punishments affect gene pool survival they commit genocide
    - Privatize schools and all government’s corporation
    - You own your life
    - Everyone maximize their profit and productivity as a whole will get maximized
    - The market will take care the rest
    - If the market doesn’t everything is part of the game
