Free Blogging Helper To Save Time

This is for all you new bloggers out there, you long-time bloggers probably already use it. :)

As most of you all know, I have dial-up internet and it takes an awful long time to do more than one thing at a time online.

I got to wondering if there is a way to post to my blog by some other means than going to my site, signing in, opening a new post, etc, etc.

Time for a Google search!

I found out that I can post updates by email, but the formatting doesn’t always turn out right, and I would have to create another email address just for that purpose. That didn’t sound so great to me.

I noticed that a couple of the search results mentioned “desktop blogging clients” – software that you install on your computer to write your posts in, instead of the editor on your blog.

That sounded more like what I was thinking of.

I found many blogging clients to choose from – and some are even free!

Desktop Blogging Clients: The Ultimate List

Why one should use Windows Live Writer or any other desktop blogging client!

Windows Live Writer is one of the free ones. It’s compatible with most blogging platforms (WordPress, Blogger, Typepad, etc.), it seems to have the most features and least bugs, and it’s highly recommended…so that’s what I tried.

It’s wonderful! I wish I had known about it from the beginning!

I’ve written all of this week’s posts in Windows Live Writer and the formatting came out fine, I can preview my posts before I publish them, I can add pictures and video – and I can’t tell you how much time it has saved me!  

Plus, if I had them, I can add more blog accounts. (I wondered how all the multi-bloggers did it!)

If you’re a blogger, you ought to give Windows Live Writer a try. It’s an easy-to-use, time-saving tool for bloggers –and it’s free! :)

Blessings,

Denese
