Top WLW Plugins
Although Windows Live Writer is not perfect, it is great for quickly posting to several blogs/CMS systems. I use it with both Wordpress and Drupal. It works great and saves time. I’ve even turned non-techie types (you know, the ones that can barely log into Wordpress, much less create a post) on to it, and they love it.
WLW supports plugins, and this is one of the things that I like about it. Here are a few that I use on a regular basis that make my website posts much richer and interesting.
- Zemanta – Zemanta watches what you write, then makes suggestions of photos and links from various places that you can use to enrich your post, like this:
- Flickr4Writer – this plugin makes it easy to browse Flickr by user, tags, or photosets. Once you find an image you want, you can select from one of 4 sizes and then insert it.
- Insert IMDb Info – Ever blog about a movie, actor, director? Then this plugin will access IMDb for information and enables you to quickly insert selected information.
- Now Playing – Inserts the currently playing music on your computer from Winamp, iTunes, Foobar2000, XMPlay and Windows Media Player
- Insert Wikipedia Link – Highlight some text,
- WLWPasteAs – Allow you to paste formatted HTML as plain text into a post.
Give Windows Live Writer a try, I bet you like it.
